About

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.

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.

Peace in the Wild (PITW) was founded by trailblazer Taylor, who discovered her love for nature at a young age. Recognizing the need for a sanctuary where individuals could escape their daily routines, connect with like-minded people, and embrace joy in the great outdoors, PITW was born. Taylor's ultimate goal for PITW is to become the largest outdoor recreation organization in the world, creating a globally accessible pathway for people to experience the wonders of nature through unique adventures.

It’s no secret that historical discrimination and systematic barriers have restricted the presence of underrepresented communities, especially the Black community, in outdoor spaces. This has resulted in unequal access and a lack of visibility in media and advertising. Moreover, racism, disparities in green spaces, and marginalization in these areas have made many individuals feel unwelcome, unsafe, or unable to fully engage. We are committed to creating a more equitable outdoors by providing access to education, resources, and communal experiences.

Even if you aren't the most outdoorsy person, our diverse range of activities caters to different interests and skill levels, ensuring that you'll find something to connect with. Outdoor recreation looks different for everyone and we strive to meet you where you are. We believe that nature is one of the greatest pathways to healing and it is our birthright to journey through the earth's natural wonders.
