We debunks myths about the ease of participating in outdoor activities, revealing financial, safety, and systemic challenges faced by BIPOC and low-income individuals to emphasize the need for greater representation in outdoor media and public land legislation, challenges the prioritization of modern science over Indigenous wisdom in conservation, and help people uncover tangible tools and steps towards building a more equitable experience for our communities.
