José G. González is the Founder and Director Emeritus of Latino Outdoors. He is a professional educator with training in the fields of education and conservation while engaging in different artistic endeavors with art and messaging—often exploring the intersection of the environment and culture. He received his B.A at the University of California, Davis, and his M.S at the University of Michigan School of Natural Resources & Environment. In our February 25, 2022, event on outdoor recreation, he addressed how cultural values in the Latino community can strengthen a sense of stewardship for the earth and help overcome systemic oppression, leading toward environmental equity as more and more Americans go outside to play.
