Find your network and deepen your connection to nature
Create connections and community through outdoor appreciation in a safe, inclusive, and kind environment.
Being outdoorsy is for every body.
I have enthusiastically loved the outdoors for as long as I can remember, and my best memories are in nature. My passion for the outdoors was amplified when strangers from the internet suggested a hiking group. Through hiking with others, I have found a powerful connection with the land and my community. Together, we center hikers of color and celebrate queer identities. We believe nature is for every body. We uplift one another, rising like the sun. We grow together, transforming like the seasons. We are more than a hiking group- we are Your Nature Network.
Let’s meet IRL in the beauty of the natural world.

Expanding the outdoors industry since ‘21.
Networks have existed in nature long before social media. From mushrooms to trees to flocks of starlings, nature stays connected. Inspired by the beautiful collaboration and interconnection of nature networks, we create mindful experiences in nature. Whether you want to hike to heal, connect, learn, or move with joy, we are grateful you want to do it with us. Rooted in values of inclusion, acceptance, and belonging, Your Nature Network invites you to show up as your authentic self. Just as each person has a unique offering to provide their community, every person who attends an event shares their gifts with the group.

Doing something BIG can require a leap of faith. It may be scary to put yourself out there, and it’s worth it.
“I’m so glad I found this group! I wanted to get into hiking but had no idea who to do it with.”
“The group has helped me do things I’m not normally good at - like meeting new people and making friends as an adult.”
“This is medicine for the soul. Every opportunity I get to hike or build community with this group is a reminder of the beauty in celebrating the diversity nature has created within us all. “
