Monthly Theme: Outdoors For All

At this Monthly Mixer, we will have Anne Strootman from the Wilderness Inquiry host a brief presentation about her organization.

Wilderness Inquiry is a Midwest-based non-profit that connects people of all ages, backgrounds, identities, and abilities through shared outdoor adventures so that all people can equitably experience the benefits of time spent in nature.

Anne will talk about:

• Wilderness Inquiry's work and mission

• Opportunities to volunteer with Wilderness Inquiry
• Q&A about the organization
