Nature should be for everyone, yet green spaces are not equitably distributed nor equally accessible. We are committed to addressing historical inequities and increasing access to nature for people in the Chicago Wilderness Alliance four-state region who have been historically excluded from its benefits.
We are also committed to providing resources and facilitating necessary and needed conversations on diversity, inclusion, and environmental justice to further address this important work.
These resources from Chicago Wilderness Alliance Partners and others can guide thinking and action on justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion in the conservation field. Please also visit our Increasing Equitable Access to Nature Green Vision Initiative to get involved, as well as our online Cafes and recorded webinars to view topics we're talking about. Contact us if
you have resources or links you'd like us to include.
