A Sense of Place Spotlight: @queernature What they do: Queer Nature seeks to create spaces for 2SLGBTQ (Two-Spirit, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, & questioning) folks and allies to teach and learn place-based skills and philosophies together. Some of the things we love to teach are naturalist interpretation with a focus on vertebrate tracks and sign; awareness, camouflage, stealth concepts and practices; emergency survival skills, and various natural crafts. We also write and publish material in multiple mediums that aims to engage the public with environmental philosophy, queer aesthetics, and related fields. One of our overarching goals is to build and share stories and narratives of belonging through intimacy with nature and place while also thinking and feeling critically about our roles in ecologically, socially, and politically turbulent times.What’s new or exciting: We are very grateful to be working with a new fiscal sponsor in the last year, Youth Passageways, which is a non-profit devoted to building communities and networks that support healthy and thriving cultures of human development, with a particular focus on the passage into adulthood. Darcy Ottey, colleague, friend, and fellow Methow resident, helped found this organization and has been a huge support in this new step in our journey. Because of our fiscal sponsorship, we have recently been able to receive grants previously unavailable to us from Patagonia and the North Face’s Explore Fund to continue to offer our classes donation-only, to bring in guest instructors who are unique scholars or experts in their fields, and to make other exciting updates to our organizational capacity.Keep reading about Queer Nature: twispworks.org/a-sense-of-place-spotlight-queer-nature/ ...
