We know the Outdoor State doesn't all fall on one side of the political spectrum and is almost evenly split between Democrat, Republican and Independent. For us to take on this global challenge, we need to find more ways to build bridges and bring people in regardless of political affiliation. This conversation brings together thought leaders to help us learn and develop ways to connect and understand progressive, moderate and conservative perspectives about how to act on climate change.
