4. Shenandoah National Park - Episode 4

Public lands should be inclusive for everyone. The reality is that many people, especially those from groups with a history of marginalization and discrimination, don’t feel welcome in the parks. That’s why Kristen and Diamon have paired together with the Sierra Club on a mission to showcase Black joy and inclusivity in the National Parks. Come along with them and their guests as they show how easy and fun spending time outdoors can be, along with recommending activities to try at each of the parks.

Follow along on the rest of their adventures at their website ourparkstoo.org and @OurParksToo on Instagram!
