Spending time outdoors comes with a little responsabilidad to care for the places we love 🌿

🎒 Pack it in, pack it out: Lo que llevas, te lo llevas. Even biodegradable items can take much longer to break down than you might think, especially in dry or high-elevation environments. Orange peels, sunflower seed shells, and even biodegradable toilet paper can stick around for months or longer.

🌼 Leave what you find: Wildflowers, rocks, feathers, and other natural materials are part of what makes these places special. Leave them for others to enjoy, for wildlife to use, and the ecosystem to benefit from. Déjalo donde lo encontraste.

🥾 Stay on established trails: Skip the shortcuts. Social trails can cause erosion, damage vegetation, and disturb wildlife.

A little cariño goes a long way 💚

From finca to table 🌶️

After learning the history of Texas Mexican cuisine from Chef Adan, LO Houston was reminded that the history of this region begins with our Indigenous ancestors. They learned to prepare recipes that honor the land and those who came before us.

After foraging for peppers, thyme, and eggplant at Finca Tres Robles’ community farm, it was time to head to the kitchen. As the onions and peppers hit the grill, strong aromas filled the kitchen, watering their eyes with flavor! Soon after, they enjoyed a delicious spread of:

🥭 Cold mango soup
🌵 Cactus & bean salad
🍆 Eggplant tostadas
🧅 Leeks in tomatillo salsa
🌿 Mesquite agua fresca & cookies

Everything was fresh and absolutely perfect for a hot summer day. Beyond the food, the best part was sharing a meal in community.

Gracias to everyone who joined us and helped make this gathering so special!

Community en Movimiento is a community that moves together, whether it’s gathering in the outdoors, sharing cultura, or taking action 🌿

In the words of Latino Outdoors Executive Director, Luis Villa: “Es una comunidad que sabe que sí se puede”

Latino Outdoors Siskiyou County joined SOAR Siskiyou to celebrate the release of the We Share Air zine with a morning centered on comunidad, culture, and connection to nature.

The We Share Air zine explores respiratory health, plant knowledge, and community care through stories created by the community, for the community. Families and semillitas gathered at the Dunsmuir Botanical Garden for a guided nature walk, plant identification, hands-on activities, and time to connect with one another.

We are grateful to have been part of this celebration and to continue creating spaces where semillitas and their families can learn, explore, and build lasting conexiones with nature and each other.

Three programs, un movimiento🦋

At Latino Outdoors, everything we do is rooted in three priorities: connecting people to the outdoors, uplifting community stories, and growing the next generation of outdoor leaders.

Get to know our programs👇

🥾 Vamos Outdoors is where connection begins. Through free, volunteer-led events, we create welcoming outdoor experiences where everyone belongs.

✋ Yo Cuento Outdoors reminds us that every outdoor experience has a story worth telling. Through storytelling, communications, and advocacy, we celebrate the voices, cultures, and lived experiences that inspires our community to themselves in the outdoors.

🌽 Crecemos Outdoors helps those inspired by these experiences become leaders themselves. Through mentorship, leadership training, outdoor skills, and career development opportunities, we support volunteers as they build the confidence and tools to guide others and strengthen our growing movement.

UPDATE: All spots have been filled! Stay tuned for future trainings like this🦋

Have you ever been outdoors with your community and encountered a difficult interaction with someone? Did it leave you wondering, did I do the right thing?

Join us for our 'Navigating Challenging Interactions' webinar on Thursday, August 6th at 5 PM PT, where Diana Días Madera from Corazón Norte will shed light on how stressful people-to-people situations can affect our mind y cuerpo. Together, we'll learn and practice tools to help us respond with intención and re-ground in community care.

We hope this webinar supports a growing awareness of how we interact with others in tense and difficult moments.
