Event Description

This year, over 50 members of POCIE's community gathered at the Arnold Arboretum for a day full of nature, community, and rejuvenation.

We recognized two outstanding members of our community: our Rising Star Aisha Farley and our Guiding Star Pallavi Kalia Mande, both of whom have consistently worked to increase access, equity, and justice for BIPOC professionals in the environmental field.

We ate incredible food from Rhythm 'n Wraps and dessert from Cupcake Therapy, enjoyed a guided tour of the Arboretum's Conifer Path and Bonsai Exhibit, and were treated to yoga, forest bathing, and massages!
