Meg Krueger: Exploring the Pyramid of Outdoor Engagement

Melissa and Meg Krueger explore the impact of the Paralympics on disability awareness and the importance of adaptive equipment and mindset in outdoor activities. They highlight how community efforts can create inclusive outdoor experiences and emphasize the significance of representation in these activities. The conversation also touches on the pyramid of outdoor engagement and the healing power of nature. Wilderness Inquiry has been a key partner in promoting accessibility. For over five years, they have collaborated with CNC to bring canoes to our grounds and guide visitors on river outings. These 10-day fall stretches have allowed hundreds to thousands of people to experience the river, furthering our mission to make nature accessible to everyone. www.wildernessinquiry.org www.chattnaturecenter.org Chapters 00:00 The Impact of the Paralympics on Disability Awareness02:59 Adaptive Equipment and Mindset in Outdoor Activities05:47 Creating Community Through Outdoor Engagement09:13 The Importance of Representation in Outdoor Activities11:56 The Pyramid of Outdoor Engagement14:59 The Healing Power of Nature18:00 Inspiration from Diverse Outdoor ExperiencesSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
