Presenter: Boris Issaev, Parkbus Co-Founder
Transportation, Knowledge, and Feeling Welcome are often identified as key barriers to connecting with parks for both urban dwellers and underrepresented groups. Parkbus has worked to overcome all these barriers since launching in 2010 (and returning this summer as the pandemic subsides!). Beyond offering accessible shuttles to multiple park destinations, Parkbus builds community in the outdoors with their ActiveDays and NatureLink programs for newcomers. Join us for a conversation with this award-winning, collaborative initiative that is already contributing to the future sustainability of parks and outdoor recreation.
