From this collective gathering, Urban American Outdoors hopes to move to a national platform broadening the focus of conservationist to encompass job creation and the vast economic opportunities within the industry.
Other objectives of the Summit include reconnecting Urban Americans with outdoor spaces; promoting “green living”, along with, sharing conservation and environmental sustainability ideas for our stewardship of earth.
