We’ll do a short, flat 4.2 mile ride on Piscataway land starting from Bluemont Park (601 N Manchester St Arlington, VA 22203). The ride is a round trip. Expect a low key, conversational pace on mostly flat, car free trails. We’ll stop at a few places to talk about this article about conservation and Latinx culture. This ride is in partnership with the Hispanic Access Foundation’s Latino Conservation Week and sponsored by New Belgium Brewing Company.

Movie: The Future of Our Home
Short movie premiere on July 17: https://suwa.org/utah-
Forests are not alone in their valuable ability to sequester carbon from the atmosphere, turn pollutants into plant matter to address climate change. Our deserts are also vital for reducing atmospheric carbon, keeping fossil fuels in the ground, and being the homeplace for wildlife.
On July 17, head to SUWA.org for the premiere of the extra short film, “The Future of Our Home”. This movie is in Spanish and English, focusing on the role that Utah's outstanding wild lands play in preventing mass extinction of wildlife, and addressing the climate emergency.
Fossil fuel extraction on public land significantly harms Latino community health. But Latino querencia for our shared herencia can safeguard our health and our futures through the permanent protection of America’s red rock wilderness. Will you join Latinos for Utah wilderness?

Extracción de los combustibles fósiles de nuestra tierra pública daña significativamente la salud comunitaria, especialmente la salud de latinos. Pero latino querencia para nuestra herencia compartida puede salvaguardar nuestro salud y futuros entre la protección permanente de las tierras silvestres de roca roja de los estados unidos. ¿Se unirá a latinos para Utah silvestre? ¡Visite SUWA.org/silvestre el 17 de julio!
