New! Celebrating Black Joy in Nature

Rockburn Branch Park • 5400 Landing Road East ElkridgeMD  21075 Organized by Howard County Government

About this event

Description

Join Park Rangers and Historic & Cultural Resources Staff around the campfire for an evening of s'mores, storytelling, connection and reflection. This special gathering invites participants to share personal stories that celebrate joyful moments in nature - whether it's cherished family traditions, unforgettable adventures, or simply the peace found in the great outdoors. Everyone is encouraged to bring original poems or beloved works that honor Black culture. Discuss the historical relationship between African Americans and the U.S. landscape. Together, we'll uplift one another and celebrate the rich intersection of Black identity and the natural world. Info: Erin Wilder, 410-313-4666 or ewilder@howardcountymd.gov.
