Outdoor Afro, a national nonprofit, aims to connect Black people with nature and cultivate Black leadership outdoors. Chapters around the country organize outdoor activities, including hiking, canoeing, birding, rock-climbing, ice skating, sailing and biking. In the winter, it’s cold-weather experiences, such as snow-shoeing and skiing, or indoor events like archery or a trip to a natural history museum.
