Outdoor Afro Welcomes Séla Steiger to the Team!

So I am proud to welcome intern Séla Steiger (24) who brings a wonderful mix of outdoor experience and perspective that is certain to enrich our…

Trip Report: Point Reyes National Seashore Hike
It is always gratifying for me when the digital conversation leads to action, especially when it involves connecting folks to nature!
At the start of the week, I had the pleasure of leading twenty-four Outdoor Afros on a day trip to Point Reyes National Seashore in California via the local MeetUp group. Many in the group…

Birds in the 'Hood
I have come to love birding, especially in areas close to where I live. This weekend, me and two other Outdoor Afros (Clay and Abu) came together as a result of our online planning to enjoy birds and nature near home at the Martin Luther King Jr. Shoreline Park, a part of the East Bay Regional Park…

If so, I am glad to invite you out to celebrate an amazing new project called EECapacity, which is funded by U.S. EPA's Office of Environmental Education. Outdoor Afro is working with Cornell University as a part of the leadership team on this national, five-year $10 million environmental…

Black People Do
As I speak to more people these days about African Americans and the outdoors, a question that most often leads the conversation is, “Why don’t African Americans engage with nature?”, which admittedly prompts me to let out a little sigh...
Since founding Outdoor Afro, what has excited me most is the number of African Americans from around the country who share a variety of ways nature can be enjoyed. People post… Continue

Thanks... I Hear about your group via a friend of a friend... any way I don't see a lot of adventures planned in the Colorado area and would like to offer my assistance in getting events planned for the organization in Colorado.
I am the Organizer of Colorado Backpackers (the States largest Backpacking focused group) and the Tent campers of Colorado - Niether one do I charge to belong or go on trips. I also teach a lot of course to schools on outdoor survival and backpacking. I run classes for Backpack Cooking, Backpacking Basics, and Outdoor Cooking - again I never charge for these classes.
I am not sure how to get started in getting the offers out to this groups but I have heard a lot of good things it is doing and I want to make my services available to everyone.
