Get Out: Nurturing A Bond Between Black People and Nature

Media Updates

“Is nature a white thing?

It can certainly seem so. A 2011 National Park Service survey found that just 7 percent of all park system visitors were black. But there is a growing effort to nurture the relationship between African-Americans and the outdoors. Online clubs and social media groups geared at getting African-Americans into the wilderness are having real impact.

Part of that is about spreading awareness of the myriad cultural reasons black people have felt unwelcome in natural spaces throughout history. We explore the roots of this relationship and speak with some of the leaders of the movement to get African-Americans to get out.”

Featuring Tyrhee Moore, Program Coordinator and City Kids Alumnus on NPR.
