Date: Friday, August 2nd from 2:00 pm- 4:00 pm

Location: Backyard Basecamp, Inc- BLISS Meadows

Visit BLISS Meadows, a 10-acre land reclamation project, where we operate an urban farm and educate our community on how to grow, harvest, cook, survive, and thrive in the outdoors.

Our tour will be led by Aitya Wells, the Founder and Executive Director of Backyard Basecamp, Inc. - a nonprofit with a mission to (re)connect Black, Indigenous, and People of Color to land and nature. By diving into research and history, Atiya learned that historical trauma is a key player in the lack of diversity in environmental programming. She has since dedicated her time to (re)introducing her community to nature by starting in their own backyards and eventually embarking on a journey into the many green spaces across Baltimore.

Parking is not available on site, so we will be traveling by bus from the Home and Garden Information center. Further directions will be given closer to the program date. If you need a reasonable accommodation to participate, please contact Steph Pully at pully@umd.edu or (410) 531-1754 by July 19, 2023.
