PARKS & TRAILS THINGS TO DO PROGRAMS & EVENTS NATURAL RESOURCES WEDDING & RENTAL SPACES HOME ABOUT US COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT community engagement Three Rivers is committed to inclusion and equitable access to the outdoors. Like many outdoor agencies across the country, our research demonstrates that compared to our region, people of color, and people whose household incomes are under $50,000 are underrepresented within our park system. Teens are also another often disconnected audience within the outdoor setting. The Community Engagement team intentionally connects with these populations, meeting people where they are at and finding pathways into the outdoors that meet the needs and interests of each group. The parks belong to everyone. We’re hoping to help you find your home in the outdoors. parks on the go Not able to visit the parks? Let the parks come to you! Our Parks on the Go outreach vans are available to bring a sampling of park activities to your location. LEARN MORE group camping training & gear library The Group Camping Gear Library makes introductory camping more accessible by equipping educators, youth workers, and community leaders to lead their own overnight trips. Three Rivers staff also offers training on leading your own group camping experience. LEARN MORE community festivals & events We connect with potential park users by bringing the Parks on the Go van to community festivals and events or tabling at health and resource fairs.
