Blended Bridge Summer Series: Reclaiming the Outdoors

Join the MAH and Blended Bridge as we highlight historical events through an evening with local storytellers. Listen in as community members share personal experiences to illuminate the ways in which we see history repeat itself on a local and national scale.

Art. There will be a guided rock painting lesson where participants will have the opportunity to express what it means to exist and experience belonging in the outdoors. Throughout the night, contribute to the collaborative message board sharing your wish for our community in the outdoors.

History & Connections. Be ready to team up with others: this event will conclude with History Trivia and the opportunity to continue to learn about movements and actions taken for the outdoors to be accessible to all and respectful of its past to present.
