About Nature of the North
Nature of the North, founded by Jon Walters in 2016, helps to build the local outdoor community and breakdown the community’s barriers in getting outdoors. Jon expands, “I started Nature of the North with the pure intention of building up our local outdoor community, and breaking down the barriers keeping from folks getting out into nature. Everything we do is built on the foundation of bring people together in nature, or building up our communities outdoor skill sets and knowledge. Through the outdoors we can calm our busy minds and truly engage with one another.” The idea of Nature of the North came about when a friend of Jon’s explained that he thought Jon could be the one to provide the Fargo-Moorhead community with an outfitter.
Jon shared, “Nature of the North was intentionally designed to help just about every demographic within our community. Whether it’s making it more accessible through gear rentals, free outdoor events, or trip planning; to finding folks to adventure with by hosting a large variety of events that appeal to many demographics. If one of our offerings doesn’t interest you, we can find you one that will. We are constantly listening to and watching our community to find out what offerings we need to provide.”
