Addressing Disparities in Outdoor Access & Inclusion
Three people hike over rocky terrain. There is a large snow-capped mountain landscape in the background.
Overview: The COVID-19 pandemic was a catalyst for many in the US to discover or re-engage with outdoor recreation. However, a recent study published in Land reports that the increase in recreation was primarily among white people while recreation among people of color decreased. The study highlights the ongoing disparities in access and inclusion in the outdoors and the crucial need for solutions.
In this webinar, panelists will discuss the necessity of access and inclusion, propose solutions, and share current initiatives at their organizations that work toward equity and diversity in outdoor spaces. You’ll walk away with a better understanding of the disparities in outdoor recreation and how you can address them in your own work.
