Roots & Routes: Exploring Nature and Celebrating Diversity

Roots & Routes is a youth hiking event created to inspire a love for the outdoors while promoting representation and belonging in outdoor spaces. Open to all youth ages 10+, this event places special emphasis on encouraging participation among youth of color and helping break down barriers to outdoor recreation.

Together, we’ll explore local trails, build new friendships, and create a welcoming environment where every young person can experience the physical, mental, and social benefits of spending time in nature. Because every child deserves the opportunity to see themselves reflected in outdoor spaces.
