We help organizations effectively connect more people to the outdoors and nature
What others are saying…
“Very knowledgeable, articulate, and poised. Useful information, good mix of media usage. Clear concise points. Rue Mapp’s presentation offered tangible solutions to a whole host of predicaments park managers and interpreters often find themselves in. Excellent day, and Rue was the highlight for me.” California State Park Urban Interpreter Training Participant
“We asked Rue to be the keynote speaker at our Fall Fundraiser. She knocked it out of the park, bringing her Outdoor Afro experience and perspective to members of the Seattle environmental movement. Our donors left inspired and we raised more at this event than we have at any other event in Groundwire history. Thanks Rue!” Sara Freedman, Development Director, Groundwire
“Thanks for a terrific keynote at the Bureau of Land Management Workshop — Your message was ‘spot on’ and folks continued to reference key ideas throughout the remainder to the workshop” Emilyn Sheffield, Professor of Recreation and Parks Management at California State University, Chico
