Team Green is simply about connecting our community to the great outdoors. Discovering new ways to appreciate our environment, meeting other outdoor enthusiasts, and finding the inspiration to engage in a healthier lifestyle are all benefits of taking the first step outdoors. Team Green can help you make that first step.
Team Green activities provide opportunities to experience the outdoors in educational and challenging ways. Our over 350 excurions (See 2009 Events pdf) are open to any individual regardless of past experience, age, ability level, or income. By raising awareness of our natural environment and encouraging local participation, Team Green enhances the sense of community within the Middle Tennessee area. But Team Green doesn’t limit our experiences to just Middle Tennessee; we plan adventures across the hemispheres that reach beyond the boundaries of ordinary vacations.

Each member of TAG belongs to one or more committee specializing in their interest of choice, such as hiking/backpacking, rock climbing, water treks, horseback treks, social events, and more!
TAG members have been involved for 6 months or more and possess a passionate interest in Team Green’s future.
