Episode 4 - Outdoor Access and Disabilities with Alysa Morley

In this deeply moving episode of 'People, Nature, Big Ideas,' we're joined by Alysa Morley. While advocacy might not be her job title, her journey and the synergy with TPL's mission have profound implications for those seeking access and representation in the great outdoors. As part of the marketing team at Trust for Public Land (TPL), Alysa has witnessed firsthand the synergy between her personal experiences and TPL's mission. As a person living with a disability, she knows the weight of exclusion one can feel when it comes to enjoying the outdoors. As a child, she recalls watching from the classroom as other kids played on the playground. These memories have deeply influenced her perspective and contributions at TPL, an organization that's pioneering projects for people with disabilities. Together with Ronda, Alysa delves into topics of education, gratitude, and the importance of owning one's disability. Their conversation is a heartfelt exploration of the intersections between people, nature, and the transformative ideas that bridge them, while also addressing the dangers of 'othering'.
