Breaking Barriers: BIPOC Programs Opening Outdoors for All

Date TBA

Why do so few people of color venture into the outdoors? Explore the documentary "Woodhood" and how leaders are tackling the legacy of discriminatory policies that once kept diverse communities from national parks and public lands. Discover how these initiatives empower people of color to embrace the beauty of nature through backpacking and hiking. By offering unprecedented access to the great outdoors, often for the first time,  these programs are fostering resilience and providing participants with essential mental health tools.
