Our Mission
To empower Black people across the diaspora to reconnect with nature through outdoor recreation. We break down barriers to access by organizing accessible adventures on land and water that foster skill-building, environmental stewardship, and community. Through our efforts, we inspire a global movement to enjoy, conserve, and protect nature for generations to come.
Our Vision
A world where Black people are fully represented, valued, and empowered in the outdoors, leading efforts to explore, enjoy, and conserve wild spaces. We envision a global movement where access to nature is a right, not a privilege, and where every person, regardless of background, plays an active role in protecting and preserving the natural world for generations to come.
Our Story
Peace in the Wild (PITW) was founded by trailblazer Taylor, who fell in love with nature at a young age. She envisioned a sanctuary where people could escape daily routines, find joy in the great outdoors, and connect with a like-minded community. PITW was born from that vision, creating tangible opportunities for everyone to experience the outdoors through unique adventures.
For too long, historical discrimination and systemic barriers have excluded Black and Brown communities from outdoor spaces. Unequal access, lack of representation, and feelings of being unwelcome have made it difficult for many to fully embrace the outdoors. PITW is committed to changing that by providing education, resources, skills, and communal experiences that foster equity and belonging in nature.
Even if you don’t consider yourself outdoorsy, we offer activities for every interest and skill level, meeting you wherever you are on your journey. We believe that nature is one of the greatest pathways to healing, and it’s our birthright to explore the earth's natural wonders.
