Reclaiming Nature: Hood to Woods

Student and faculty researchers from Black Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC) backgrounds at San Francisco State University have partnered with community organizations to learn about ancestral knowledge and cultural practices to heal in nature. Together, they aim to create life-changing and culturally-appropriate nature programs to reduce stress, promote health, and reclaim nature for BIPOC communities. Their community engaged-research program takes BIPOC young adults ages 18+ on nature trips once a month to experience the beautiful old Redwoods. Transportation is provided, and participants can get up to $120 in incentives.
