Giving Voice to Equity in the Outdoors
From mountains to sea, and everything in between, there are 640 million acres of beautiful wild public lands available to us all, but not everyone enjoys these amazing resources equally. Why?
Please join us Saturday, October 22, for a morning hike as we walk and talk about ensuring that outdoor adventure is an accessible and open invitation to all. We will be discussing outdoor culture, inclusion and diversity, access, and more with 4 experts and the larger community. Each expert is representing and advocating for a group that is traditionally marginalized in their access, knowledge and encouragement in the outdoors. We started with a panel discussion on Thursday 10/20, and on Saturday 10/22, we will continue the conversation as we join together for a hike at the beautiful Brumley Forest Nature Preserve.

Thank you to everyone who participated in the Panel Discussion
October 20
We had a powerful and thought provoking panel discussion about equity outdoors. There was wonderful food and beverages, raffles and prizes too! We learned a lot from our speakers about extending the invitation to enjoy the outdoors to communities who have been historically marginalized or may be intimidated by the idea of taking to the trail. We hope to move forward together – both literally and figuratively – as we continue talking and walking on Saturday morning at Brumley Forest Nature Preserve.
