Course Description
Current statistics show a staggering disparity in the demographics of visitors and staff in wilderness areas. Depending on the particular study, 80-90% of wilderness visitors are white. As the National Parks Service celebrates its 100 th anniversary, a long overdue national dialogue has emerged discussing the underrepresentation of people of color in wilderness areas. For many reasons, parks of all levels (local, county, state and national), nature centers, wilderness camps, resorts, and outdoor focused retailers are working hard to reach people of all backgrounds.
