Join us for the opening of Nature Includes You, an exhibition of more than 20 photographers that explores the rich relationships that people of color have with nature in Northeast Ohio, past and present.
This traveling photo exhibition and program series explores the rich relationships that people of color have with nature in Northeast Ohio, past and present. Nature is all around us: in our communities, gardens, parks, and yards. It nourishes and teaches us throughout our lives.
The presentation and Q & A will share real-world experience of transforming a yard across 10 years: local ordinances, right-of-way constraints, neighbors, and "cues-of-care." Participants will gain an awareness of and strategies to modernize local and state laws impacting native plants as individual property owners work toward "greening their community".
