The Nature Includes You traveling photo exhibition and program series explores the rich relationships that people of color have with nature in Northeast Ohio, past and present. Nature is all around us: in our communities, gardens, parks, and yards. It nourishes and teaches us throughout our lives.

In nature, we can . . .

• Grow healthy foods
• Nurture our spirits
• Become inspired
• Express our creativity
• Collect scientific data
• Explore different careers
• Learn something new
• Enjoy friends-and-family time
• Build a sense of community
• Heal our land, water, and selves

A total of 15 organizations contributed images of people from diverse Northeast Ohio communities. The show highlights the work of more than 20 photographers. Funding provided by a grant from the National Park Service.
