Field to Frame worked in partnership with the Five Valleys Land Trust to host a Zoom-based panel discussion, Voices from the Community: Why Access, Equity, and Inclusion Matter.
The outdoors are for everyone. Yet, even as a growing body of medical research shows that spending time in the outdoors is good for our physical, and mental health, some members of our community face barriers to access. These barriers can include factors such as physical ability, mental health, income, access to transportation, family status, race, cultural background, gender, and gender identity.
On July 8th, 2020, Five Valleys hosted the webinar panel discussion, “Voices from the Community: Why Access, Equity and Inclusion Matter.” The program brought together diverse voices around a common theme: access to the outdoors. During the discussion, panelist community members shared examples of barriers to access they had personally faced in their lives and shared their ideas for ways to make the outdoors more accessible.
