I know it’s Black history month and this is a time for many non-POC to think about how they can be better allies to the Black community, but this is also the time to consider how to be allies for the Asian community as well, they’re suffering greatly and they need us. 1/

Today we're highlighting @Backyard_Base, an organization that connects BIPOC families in Baltimore to outdoor spaces around the city.
Backyard Basecamp's founder, Atiya Wells, is creating equitable access to nature through environmental education.

As we honor #HistoryintheMaking this #BlackHistoryMonth, we'd like to highlight Atiya Wells, founder of nonprofit @Backyard_Base. Wells wants, "to get more folks that look like me involved in outdoor education." Read more: bayjournal.com/news/people/b… @ChesBayJournal
We are highlighting the 5 pillars of our programs.
Today's focus is Urban Environmental Education
We don't just teach about plants and animals. We go a layer deeper to also discuss all of the things that make up our environment and how we live in it.

One of our Alumni - Jordan - is the farm manager for this project! Please help @Backyard_Base reach their goal to renovate this vacant farmhouse to use for their educational programs! #BelieveInBliss {bit.ly/BelieveInBliss}

Urban agriculture is booming, but Atiya Wells at BLISS Meadows was the lone Black person in #farm workshops. "Where my people at?" she asked. @WYPR881FM @BabaEricJackson Black Yield Institute says they are cultivating more than veggies on their farm. Read bit.ly/3dY8uS8

I am deeply saddened to share that a former member of my lab in Chicago, Lynika Strozier, died yesterday from #COVID19 complications. Lynika was an amazing person with a passion for science & education. Please give to her GoFundMe for funeral expenses gf.me/u/x737pr

#BlackBirdersWeek is a celebration of black folks in the outdoors, but it’s also an opportunity to mention that these lands are the stolen lands of Native Americans as our history is inextricably tied to Native American people.
