About LO’s COVID-19 Guidelines

After careful consideration and consultation with LO leaders about the resumption of in-person outings, we have implemented the following measures to allow us to safely gather in person while minimizing the risk of community spread:

New policies and procedures

1. All attendees must maintain physical distancing.

2. Leaders and participants will decide together whether or not to wear masks.

3. Anyone who feels sick or has been exposed to someone with COVID-19 should stay home. In the case that someone begins displaying symptoms during an outing, they will be escorted back to their vehicle to go home and rest or separated from others until they can go home.

As the pandemic evolves, so will our approach to keeping you safe. We thank you for your patience and flexibility as we manage this, and invite you to check in with us if you have any questions.

What you can expect from LO

To ensure the number of people present at in-person gatherings does not go beyond what is considered safe by local health guidelines

To be given accurate and truthful information about LO outings in the context of COVID-19

Adherence to county level public health department guidelines

What LO expects from participants

We take safety at our community outings very seriously. We ask participants to self-certify that they do not have symptoms, have not been diagnosed with or had direct contact with a known or suspected COVID-19 case in the past 14 days, and will comply with LO’s safety policies and procedures. Together, we can ensure safe, positive, and meaningful experiences in nature.

A little more about Latino Conservation Week and the hosts:

Latino Conservation Week was started by the Hispanic Access Foundation in 2014 to support the Latino community getting into the outdoors and participating in activities to protect our natural resources. This year during the week of July 18-26, community, non-profit, faith-based, and government organizations and agencies hold events throughout the country.

Latino Outdoors is a unique Latino-led organization. We are working to create a national community of leaders in conservation and outdoor education. As part of this work, we are focused on expanding and amplifying the Latino experience in the outdoors; providing greater opportunities for leadership, mentorship, professional opportunities and serving as a platform for sharing cultural connections and narratives that are often overlooked by the traditional outdoor movement. It is a space for the community to be present, share their voices, and showcase how conservation roots have been ingrained in Latino cultura for generations.

Nature for All is building a diverse base of support for ensuring that everyone in the Los Angeles area—no matter where they live—has equitable access to the wide range of benefits that nature can provide. Nature For All advocates for policies and programs that will protect the mountains and rivers in our area, create more natural spaces in our historically underserved neighborhoods, and connect people and public lands through more trails and other outdoor recreational opportunities.

Un poco más sobre la Semana de Conservación Latina y los anfitriones:

La Semana de la Conservación Latina fue iniciada por la Hispanic Access Foundation en 2014 para apoyar a la comunidad latina a salir al aire libre y participar en actividades para proteger nuestros recursos naturales. Este año, durante la semana del 18 al 26 de julio, organizaciones y agencias comunitarias, sin fines de lucro, religiosas y gubernamentales celebran eventos en todo el país.

Latino Outdoors es una organización única dirigida por latinos. Estamos trabajando para crear una comunidad nacional de líderes en conservación y educación al aire libre. Como parte de este trabajo, estamos enfocados en expandir y amplificar la experiencia latina en el exterior; brindando mayores oportunidades de liderazgo, tutoría, oportunidades profesionales y sirviendo como una plataforma para compartir conexiones culturales y narrativas que a menudo pasan por alto el movimiento tradicional al aire libre. Es un espacio para que la comunidad esté presente, comparta sus voces y muestre cómo las raíces conservacionistas se han arraigado en la cultura latina durante generaciones.

Nature for All está construyendo una base diversa de apoyo para garantizar que todos en el área de Los Ángeles, sin importar dónde vivan, tengan acceso equitativo a la amplia gama de beneficios que la naturaleza puede proporcionar. Nature For All aboga por políticas y programas que protejan las montañas y los ríos en nuestra área, creen más espacios naturales en nuestros vecindarios históricamente desatendidos y conecten a las personas y las tierras públicas a través de más senderos y otras oportunidades recreativas al aire libre.
