The Society of Outdoor Recreation Professionals and Outdoor Recreation Design Lab will be hosting the Inclusive Spaces Audit Workshop. The Workshop is designed for outdoor recreation providers to formalize, inform, and guide the process to expand welcoming and belonging for users who have traditionally been excluded or underrepresented in outdoor recreation.

The workshop is free to participants thanks to a grant from Colorado Parks and Wildlife. Participants are expected to use the resources shared during the workshop to conduct an audit at their home unit and provide feedback.

Learning Objectives:

• Understand key terms like accessible, inclusive, equity, and diversity and why they are important in trail design and maintenance

• Learn how to do a trail or site assessment focused on accessibility and inclusion

• Learn about strategies and actions you can use  to create more accessible and inclusive trails

 Facilitators:

• Gerry Seavo James, Outdoor Recreation Design Lab/Explore Kentucky and Sierra Club Outdoors for All

• Rachel Franchina, Society of Outdoor Recreation Professionals

 Due to limited space, we are accepting applications through February 13, 2024. Applicants will be notified by February 23 if they are selected to participate in the workshop.
