Patricia Wilson is trying to break down barriers which dictate who can access Peterborough and the Kawarthas’ outdoors.
The Peterborough local is the founder of the Diverse Nature Collective, an organization which hosts nature hikes and outdoor-skills workshops for Black and racialized nature lovers.
This year the group is expanding their programming with a a Black-centred Learn-to-camp weekend taking place at the Warsaw Caves Conservation Area from July 10th-12th.
Listen to hear Wilson speak about the organization and their mandate, as well as researcher and event co-facilitator, Dr. Jacqueline Scott, about her research into Black history and experience in relation to the outdoors and recreation.
