At Patagonia, we're in business to save our home planet. Through business, our investments, our voice, and our friends, we are looking to support and elevate as many environmental activists as possible. That's why we're kicking off a new series, Grow The Outdoors, in our New York City stores. The event series looks to expand and support all the nature warriors out there (and hopefully inspire a few new ones!) by bolstering diversity and inclusion in the outdoors. Join us for one of these events (full list below), lend your voice to help to turn the tide on climate change, and help move the conversation forward—together.
We'll be hosting the individuals below for an intimate panel discussion on growing our community to continue the fight to protect our planet.
Moderated By: Dr. Rhea Rahman, Brooklyn College
Jenny Bruso, Unlikely Hikers
Perry Cohen, The Venture Out Project
Rebecca Goodstein, Patagonia
Betty Lyons, American Indian Law Alliance
Jared Pineda, Cat Rock Ventures
Come with questions and comments - panel will be followed by an opportunity for all to take part in the conversation.
