Equity in Conservation and Outdoor Recreation (ECOR) Summit for Action

Date
Aug 13 2021

Description

The Equity in Conservation and Outdoor Recreation (E.C.O.R.) Summit for Action is a one-day event for thought-provoking discussions around the intersection of equity and inclusion in environmental conservation and outdoor recreation movements. The outdoors should be a place of healing and enjoyment for all. However throughout American history, people of marginalized identities have so often been underrepresented or intentionally excluded from the conservation and outdoor narratives. These inequities are the result of complex social and economic factors that include but are not limited to explicit racism and segregation. Understanding the history and impacts of racism, sexism, ableism in the parks and greenspaces in our communities can only serve to improve the benefits of green spaces to all people. Join us for a frank discussion on issues that those with marginalized identities face in the movement to enjoy and preserve wild and scenic places. The 2021 Summit will be Virtual. Learn more here.
