Our Mission
To get Black people outdoors. We bridge the gap between people and nature by providing hands-on group experiences that build skills, confidence, and a deep sense of responsibility for the land. Through our programs, we empower communities to not only enjoy the outdoors but to actively protect and advocate for it.
Our Vision
An outdoors where Black people are fully represented, valued, and empowered to lead the exploration, enjoyment, and conservation of wild spaces. We envision a global movement where access to nature is a right, and all people, regardless of background, actively contribute to preserving the natural world for future generations.
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.
