'Sometimes the language can be a barrier' - Community groups in Utah are banding together to try and get the message out to Latino community members that there are ways to get more involved in the outdoors. brian_schnee
SALT LAKE CITY — Community groups in Utah are banding together to try and get the message out to members of the Latino community that there are ways to get more involved in the outdoors, whether that be recreation, conservation work or other activities.
Other members of Utah’s Latino community believe that transportation may be a contributing factor to what’s hampering a movement of more Latinos getting into the outdoors. “I go out hiking, you know, we all should, it’s very fun, it brings a nice inner peace to me,” said Giovanni Rojas, who is a high school student and member of Latinos in Action in Kearns. He and his classmates helped on the project to clear brush and establish Beaver Dam Analogs in a creek.
