We are back from our needed break to bring you the information you need to get involved and enjoy our community.In this episode, we revisit our talk about one of our favorite things about Nevada...NATURE! We've added in some sounds from the last pre-pandemic camping trip Alison, B & Jacob went on. We also break down some of the obstacles and barriers for community members that would like to enjoy our natural surroundings, but may not be sure how to start. Getting outside is easy, but it can be intimidating. We provide tips, resources, and our personal stories that will leave you asking the same question that our Co-Wrangler Alison does, “Is this Nature?”.For more information about the wonderful outdoor world in and around Southern Nevada, check out:Friends of Red Rock: https://friendsredrock.org/hiking/Bird & Hike: https://www.birdandhike.com/REI Las Vegas: https://www.rei.com/stores/las-vegas-boca-park.htmlNevada State Parks: http://parks.nv.gov/Get Outdoors Nevada: https://getoutdoorsnevada.org/UNLV Outdoor Adventures: https://www.unlv.edu/campusrec/outdoor-adventures
