Do you ever wonder how climate change is impacting your favorite weekend pastime, like hitting the trails on your mountain bike? We invite you to tune in with our illustrious guests, Robin Fox from the University of Sunshine Coast and Rowan from West Bay Trials, as we dive deeper than ever before to understand the effects of our changing climate on the outdoor industry. Our dynamic conversation draws from key insights of the Australian Cancer Association Conference, discussing how to steer people, manage harm, and adapt to evolving trends in the face of severe weather conditions. 

Moving further into our discussion, we unravel how climate change influences trails and alters the habits of their users. We highlight the need for inventive construction methods to accommodate environmental shifts and emphasize the power of collaboration in designing data-driven solutions. Hear about the commendable efforts of Queensland Parks and Wildlife Services in finding the sweet spot between conservation and user experience. We also share our concerns about the obstacles that could hamper our fight against climate change.

Let's journey together into the world of outdoor education and its potential in championing climate change awareness. Drawing on the importance of preserving nature, transformative learning experiences, and community partnerships, Robin enlightens us with the significant role of indigenous custodians in climate change mitigation. We also get reflective on the possibilities of sustainable tourism, the urgency for climate education, and initiatives designed to assist outdoor providers and land managers. Join us for an episode brimming with practical strategies, inspiring ideas, and our shared dedication to safeguarding our outdoors for forthcoming generations.
