Priya Cook is an Alumni Engagement and Success Partner for City Kids Wilderness Project. In a post for NRPA, Priya shares that when the Washington, D.C.-based City Kids Wilderness Project participants heard the devastating news that summer programming at their beloved Broken Arrow Ranch in Jackson, Wyoming, was canceled due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, the students processed and reflected on their grief for weeks. Priya writes that like those young people — in the midst of a pandemic and national racial reckoning — we all crave the healing effects of time in nature. And that now, more than ever, the benefits of breathing freely in nature must be accessible to all.
