Asian Pacific American Network of Oregon (APANO)
$20,000

APANO’s BIPOC Youth Nature Series is a cohort-based program designed to support about 12 BIPOC youth that we engage with in accessing environmental education and recreational activities in nature. The project will provide an accessible way for young BIPOC community members to see and experience Oregon’s beauty, and learn from partner organizations on various environmental topics such as indigenous approaches to farming, plant and tree identification, water quality and processing, exploring the hiking trail networks around the Portland Metro region, and deepening their relationships to nature through a series of 5 workshops in the summer of 2022.
