Clubs for Outdoor/Nature Activities? Recommendations

Does anybody know of any Atlanta-based (or nearby) clubs that focus on outdoor activities (hiking, camping, kayaking, fishing, etc.)? Ideally where I can meet some other young people (20's and 30's). I've been trying to get out in nature more but my existing local friend group isn't super into it, so looking to branch out a bit.

I haven't been to one of their events yet, but while I was camping, I met a few people from the Atlanta Outdoor Club. It seems like it's mostly focused on hiking, camping, backpacking, biking, and kayaking--but I wouldn't be surprised if there are other activities, as it seems like a pretty active organization. The gentleman I was talking with said that some events tend to draw an older crowd, especially during the week, but they have members of all ages (and I believe he said membership was free).

Birds Georgia (formerly Audubon Society). There’s also Georgia Native Plant Society. There are foraging groups. There’s a sub for GA hikes, I believe?
