How do you bring more diversity into the Pacific Northwest’s outdoor recreation areas? Try following the lead of Wild Diversity.

On this week’s episode of Peak Northwest, we speak with Mercy M’fon, founder and co-director of Portland-based nonprofit, which is actively working with BIPOC and LGBTQ communities to get greater representation outdoors.

M’fon takes us through the origins of Wild Diversity and explains how the organization is going far beyond just hosting hikes, making an impact on the wider outdoors scene in the Pacific Northwest.

Here are some highlights from this week’s show:

• How and when did Wild Diversity start?
• Wild Diversity hots more than just hikes.
• How the organization is influencing the greater outdoors scene in the Northwest.
• What the future of Wild Diversity might look like.
