Welcome to the Into the Wild podcast where we will be interviewing outdoor junkies, like ourselves, about their experiences in nature. We hope to use this platform to continue learning and growing as both individuals and as an organization. We hope that you will accompany us on this journey of understanding the thrill others seek in the outdoors, the incredible memories and learning opportunities that can come from unpleasant experiences, and how the conversations we have can begin to make the outdoors a more just and equitable space for all people.
