Diversity in Outdoor Recreation: The
Many Faces of Conservation
A conference to be held at Ward Pavilion
Wildwood Preserve, Toledo Metroparks
If you have spent time at popular birding
spots or attended large gatherings of
birders, you've probably noticed that this
community tends to be overwhelmingly white.
We don't see many birders who are
African-American, Hispanic, Native American,
Asian-American, or members of other minority
groups. This same lack of diversity has been
noticed in other aspects of outdoor
recreation, from camping and hiking to
nature study. The board and staff of BSBO
believe that more diversity would be a good
thing, in order to create more broad support
for conservation. Therefore, we are proud to
be co-sponsoring a one-day conference
featuring people who are doing something
about this issue.
Our event on September 26 will feature
presentations by John C. Robinson, a
biologist, software designer, and author of
Birding For Everyone:
Encouraging People of Color to Become
Birdwatchers; Dudley Edmondson, a
professional photographer and author of
Black and Brown Faces in America's Wild
Places; and Tamberly Conway and Maricruz
Flores, who work with the U.S.
Forest Service and Stephen F. Austin
University on the program "Latino
Legacy: Amigos del Bosque" (Friends of the
Forest). These experts will speak from
direct experience as they share practical
ideas on promoting diversity in the
outdoors. In addition, a panel discussion
will provide insight from local community
leaders.
BSBO is sponsoring this event in
collaboration with Toledo Metroparks and
Ottawa National Wildlife Refuge. Space is
limited, so mark your calendar now to
attend. More information, including
registration materials, will be available
soon.
