The Radical Power of Outdoor Recreation Planning

Outdoor recreation planning isn't just about parks and trails—it's a radical force for connecting people to place and fostering harmony between humans and wildlife. By strategically designing recreational spaces, planners can instill stewardship values, halt unsustainable development, support intersectional justice, and promote coexistence with nature.

Outdoor recreation planning is a catalyst for lasting positive change, offering pathways to reconnect people with the land. It empowers individuals to become stewards of their environment. In the face of the climate crisis, its role in shaping our collective future is more crucial than ever. My work in outdoor recreation planning always leaves me feeling full.
