For veterans, law enforcement officers, and service members, time in nature can be more than recreation—it can be a critical step toward healing. Operation Reboot Outdoors was founded to provide exactly that, connecting those who serve to Maine’s woods and waters through hunting, fishing, gold prospecting, and other outdoor activities on their 100-acre property in Byron. With support from Androscoggin Bank’s Sustainable Impact Program, the organization was able to restructure its debt—saving money and unlocking resources to focus on its next chapter: building an ADA-compliant lodge to serve as a base camp for retreats, hunting missions, and community connection.
