91 Call In Show 7/28 8a: New Mexico is known for its incredible outdoor beauty. Are you taking advantage of opportunities to hike, bike, paddle or camp in state and national parks this summer? What does time in the outdoors mean to you? What keeps you from spending more time in nature?
The National Park Service that parks across the country need to attract more diverse visitors, but what is being done to reach out to people who are not currently visiting national parks? Are you helping break stereotypes about who is “outdoorsy”?
We'll host a conversation about what inspires individuals and families to get outside and what might be holding some people back from spending time in nature. We'd like to hear from you! Email callinshow@kunm.org or call in live during the show.
