This is a great collection of essays and photographs of Black folks enjoying nature in all different ways. I enjoyed the stories and the photos, especially the ones of the authors growing up and the many ways they experienced the outdoors. There are all different kinds of experiences, each from a different person with a different viewpoint. A great book.
I read a temporary digital ARC of this book for review.
