Ally Radio: Supporting vulnerable communities with food and access to nature
Sep 22, 2023
Sierra Nevada Ally

On this week’s Ally Radio, we look at the need of rural food pantries in our region, and the challenges facing these local, community (and mostly volunteer-run) organizations.

We chat with Lisa Selmi from the Healthy Community Coalition of Lyon and Storey counties to learn more.

Then, we chat about how proposed rules governing the nation’s public lands can help increase access to nature and outdoor recreation opportunities for communities typically unable to access and enjoy them. A new study from the Center for American Progress looks at how we can bridge the gap, while addressing a surging demand for outdoor spaces.

The Sierra Nevada Ally is supported by readers and listeners just like you. Show your support of independent journalism at sierranevadaally.org.
