About Us New Members Join Here!
Team Green Adventures creates outdoor treks for the Middle Tennessee community and partners with existing organizations to enhance participation. Promoting a strong commitment to health, well-being, and the environment, Team Green Adventures is a leader in inspiring a closer community in Middle Tennessee.The Adventures
Team Green Adventures (originally named the Green Team) was created in 1996 by Lighthing 100, Nashville’s Independent Radio. We started as a environmental promotion to get Lightning 100 listeners aware of environmental concerns. With a slow start, the idea of incorporating adventure into our community service events made the program boom instantly. For over eleven years Team Green was a club for adventure seekers with the spirit of volunteerism. By 2008 the organization was too large to be a club and we transformed into the “Adventure Leader” for Middle Tennessee. We now serve as the organizer of unique activities for Nashville and beyond.
Team Green Adventures is your source for new and creative ways to spend your free time, whether it’s extreme adventure, a leisurely hike, volunteer opportunities, or social gatherings. 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 nature and fitness in educational and challenging ways. Our over 300 excursions are open to any individual regardless of past experience, age, ability level, or income. Just by being outdoors and seeing the beauty of our natural surroundings (or the impact that trash can have on your enjoyment of it), we hope to inspire you to become more environmentally conscious. But… when it all comes down to it, we are simply about THE ADVENTURE!
