Episode Synopsis


Colorado has beautiful State and National Parks, open trails and an endless bounty of natural benefits. But not everyone has the same access or benefits from this beauty equally. Real Talk with Denver 7 and CPR News explains how historical inequities and systemic racism continue to deprive some communities of the experiences of our great outdoors. Plus, this episode reveals work being done across the state to make the outdoors more inclusive to everyone.This episode features interviews with Taishya Adams, the first Black woman to serve as a commissioner to Colorado Parks and Wildlife and a Boulder City Councilmember; Lindsay Moery from the High Line Canal Trail Conservancy; and Pamela Jiner, founder of Montbello Walks.Hosted by Nathan Heffel from Colorado Public Radio and Micah Smith from Denver7.
