Look no further for a reason to hit the trail! This adventure bundle is the perfect introduction to hiking and exploring the outdoors. A brand-new L.L. Bean backpack gets you started, complete with a rain cover for those days when the weather doesn't quite cooperate. A nocturnal-themed bandana and owl-print zippered pouch round out your essentials, while a set of 10 blank wildlife notecards lets you share stories of the trails you've explored, the wildlife you've spotted, and the memories you've made.

The pack also includes a signed copy of Grandma Joy and Me: A Journey of Healing, One National Park at a Time, autographed by both Brad Ryan and Grandma Joy. The book recounts the remarkable journey that began in 2015 when Brad invited his grandmother, Joy Ryan, on her first visit to a national park. What started as a single camping trip grew into a years-long adventure to visit every U.S. National Park together, inspiring millions with a story of family, resilience, curiosity, and the power of connecting with the natural world.

Brad also shares a special connection to the Wildlife Center. As a veterinary student participating in the Center's professional training program in 2015, he credits that experience with helping shape his career path.
