Across Vermont, and here in the Islands in particular, many of us are fortunate to have easy access to the outdoors. Whether we like to hike, fish, hunt, birdwatch, kayak, or simply go for a walk in the fresh air, opportunities abound. Despite this, the experiences of people of color in Vermont often tell a very different story.
On Wednesday, March 31st at 7pm, we welcome three BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color), outdoors-enthusiasts all, to discuss access challenges and systemic racism in the outdoor recreation, food systems, and agriculture . We hope you can join us for this virtual event as we listen, reflect, and move forward in this important conversation as a community.
Speakers Include:
Debbie Archer, Audubon Vermont
Kenya Lazuli, Radical Imagination
Hana Saydek, Vermont Releaf Collective and Unlikely Riders
Candace J. Taylor, Conscious Homestead
