We’re heading into summer and parks and trails and beaches around the US are starting to open up again amidst the pandemic. As hikers, paddlers, climbers, runners, we crave time outside, but we also have a responsibility to do so in a way that respects the health of others and the land we’re on. We hear from four women who can help guide us in the right direction as we step out into this strange, familiar world.
Featuring Katie Boué of Outdoor Advocacy Project, Angela Howe, Esq. of Surfrider Foundation, resident pathologist Favia Dubyk, and Emergency Room Registered Nurse Nadia Mercado.
