IDEA

At Seldovia Nature Tours, I believe that all people have the right to a close connection to the natural world, and opportunities to learn about nature. I recognize that inequities in our society are widespread and hinder access to the outdoors. Only by embracing inclusion, diversity, equity, and accessibility as values will we be able to foster a love of nature in all people and inspire them to be active stewards of the environment.

​

Seldovia Nature Tours is a safe space where I welcome BIPOC, LGBTQ+, and anyone who has  felt excluded. I will do my best to accommodate your abilities and needs, and make your time in Seldovia a great experience.  I work to connect people of all identities, backgrounds, and levels of interest and experience to the joy, comfort, and healing that nature can offer. 

​

This statement is an acknowledgment of my continued learning and growth around antiracism, diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility. I invite you to join me in this collective effort for the love of the natural world, and for each other.
