Join us to hear from Field Inclusive co-founder Lauren D. Pharr. Field Inclusive is a nonprofit dedicated to making outdoor fieldwork and outdoor experiences safer for all – particularly marginalized and historically excluded individuals who professionally work and/or conduct research professionally in the outdoors. Join this program to learn more about the topic of "social field safety" and why certain precautions and safety measures need to be taken in the field for ALL to enjoy the outdoors. This program will begin the conversation in order to help you co-create tangible, actionable change and social field safety solutions in our own communities and organizations. Tennessee Citizens for Wilderness Planning is our co-sponsor for this program.
