Mission Statement
We seek to ensure ALL children in the West Hartford community have access to meaningful, empowering and culturally relevant outdoor learning experiences while staying true to our values around equity, anti-racism, stewardship and community.
Description
We strive to create positive change through the outdoors. The 'outdoors’ means something different to everyone and yet we are all connected to the land through our individual and shared experiences. Unfortunately, many outdoor spaces such as our parks, gardens and recreational areas are not always welcoming and accessible to all. We believe that outdoor experiences rooted in place, culture and community has the power and the potential to reconnect people to themselves, each other, the community and the world.
root2RISEis committed to promoting equity and access to the outdoors and we are dedicated to creating inclusive outdoor spaces, building awareness and uplifting diverse voices in outdoor learning.
