We are excited to share that we will be participating in the 2024 Hispanic Heritage Month by leading a Family Friendly Group Hike!
Friends of Nevada Wilderness organizará una caminata grupal en español e ingles que comenzará en Fletcher Canyon Trailhead. ¡Hablaremos sobre Leave No Trace, Wilderness y Oportunidades de conservación en Nevada durante la caminata! Esta hermosa área a las afueras de Las Vegas esta lleno de flores silvestres y mucha sombra de los pinos.
Hispanic Heritage Month takes place September 15 to October 15 every year as a time to recognize and celebrate the many contributions, diverse cultures, and extensive histories of the American Latinx community. Celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month is all about respecting and honoring Hispanic people and Hispanic Americans contributions to America and to the US.
During this hike there will be educational components about Wilderness, Leave No Trace, and the benefits to stewarding these lands. It will also be a time to enjoy the beautiful landscapes we have so close to Las Vegas and enjoy the company of other Latinos/Hispanics in the outdoors. This beautiful area just outside of Las Vegas is lush with blooming wildflowers and a lot of shade from the pines. This hike will be family friendly and guided by Meg Tait our Bilingual (English and Spanish) Stewardship Coordinator. More details below and an email will be sent out a week before the event. If you are Hispanic/Latino or know of anyone who might be interested, please spread the word and let’s get everyone disfrutado y conservando nuestra tierra (to enjoy and protect out earth)!
*This event is designed to hold space for the Latino/Hispanic Community in the Outdoors please refrain from participating if you do not identify as Latino/a.
All participants will receive a coupon for Shake Shack.
