Outdoor activists discuss their experiences of working with their communities to foster a sense of connection and belonging to the natural world.

When People of Colour make up only 1% of visitors to UK National Parks (according to The Campaign to Protect Rural England), is it true to say that the British outdoors are for everyone? In We Are Nature (2022), directors and producers Jaha Browne and Olivia Martin McGuire speak to those currently working to dispel myths of exclusivity associated with visiting rural landscapes. The film centres on the gentle activism that is involved in taking Communities of Colour into nature, to walk, exercise, exist within and find inspiration from. Following lockdown restrictions due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we are reminded that a real relationship to our outside world is a pertinent issue in the struggle for liberation.
