“What does it mean to have a diverse outdoors community?” It’s a question outdoor companies, organizations and groups are asking themselves in an effort to make nature more inclusive for people from all backgrounds, genders, abilities and ethnicities.
But while they’re trying to find an answer, America’s Black and Brown communities are exploring the outdoors. On hiking trails, rock walls, waterways and bike paths, they are discovering and --often times – rediscovering their love for the natural world.
Groups are forming that seek to inspire, connect and engage their communities in the outdoors. One such group is Latino Outdoors Philadelphia. Part of a larger national organization, Latino Outdoors Philly brings together people to help create a world where all Latino communities enjoy nature as a safe, inclusive and welcoming place.
On this episode, I'm joined by Julie Pasión. Julie is the Program Coordinator for Latino Outdoors Philadelphia.
