Join us at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science for an evening celebrating Black joy, belonging and connection to the outdoors in Colorado. The event features a screening of the award‑winning short documentary Wood Hood, followed by a panel discussion with Manny Almonte, founder of Camping to Connect, and Colorado-based leaders shaping outdoor culture, history, workforce development and access. As Colorado approaches its 150th anniversary and the United States nears 250 years, this gathering invites the community to reflect on whose stories and leadership will shape the future of parks, public lands and outdoor access. Come for the film, stay for the conversation and leave with newfound community and a call to action.Symposium Panel Host: Jason Swann, Founder and Executive Director of Rising Routes Alliance
