“There are a lot of assumptions that are made: People of color don’t like to go outdoors. We don’t really recreate. I think this will help with trying to peel that back.” More via 5280 Magazine 5280.com/2020/10/next-1… next100colorado #outdoorequity #diversifyoutdoors
Christine Wilkinson, PhD 🌈 Why the work of groups like Community Nature Connection, #NatureForAll, Outdoor Afro Latino Outdoors are so important. I didn't learn from my city-folk parents either (second gen Ashkenazi immigrants), but privileged because they had the means to send me to a camp where I learned.
ICYMI: flower tops and #outdoorequity are all the rage.
Thanks next100colorado for hosting an event that made my heart happy, and thanks to my amazing colleagues for continuing to inspire!
Sometimes you just have to stop and smell the roses (and literally everything else!). Who loves bringing their furry friends on the trail? 🐺
