About this event

  • Event lasts 2 hours 30 minutes

A lifelong backcountry adventurer, Mardi Fuller became the first known Black person to hike all 48 of New Hampshire’s high peaks in winter. Her mission is to support communities of color to self-determine in outdoor recreation and in the conservation movement.

Join us to hear Mardi discuss the societal forces that enable the persistent exclusion from full nature access that people of color face, as well as her personal experiences connecting with nature and navigating the mainstream outdoor culture.

Doors open at 6:00 pm.

The program starts at 6:30 pm.
