SUMMARY:Anti-Racism in the Outdoors
DESCRIPTION:A Presentation to the Membership of First Unitarian Society of 
 Ithaca\nDec. 1\, 7 – 8 pm  Via Zoom\n\nDr. Don Rakow\n\nThe many benefi
 ts of spending time in nature have been very well documented in recent yea
 rs.  Those who spend more time in natural sites are likely to show reduce
 d levels of stress\, anxiety\, and depression\, and to demonstrate improve
 d ability to concentrate\, memory recall\, and sleep patterns.\n\nUnfortun
 ately\, a number of national surveys have revealed that BIPOC individuals\
 , and especially Black youth\, engage with parks and green spaces at much 
 lower rates than do their white counterparts.  In this presentation\, Don
  Rakow will provide the historical framework for this disparity\; discuss 
 current conditions that serve as barriers to greater use\; and reveal vari
 ous initiative underway to make natural spaces more open\, inviting\, and 
 responsive to expressed needs.  He will discuss his own research as well 
 as efforts by colleagues across the US.\n\nEmail office@uuithaca.org for t
