The next stop on our virtual adventure was in Oregon with Jared Kennedy from The Blue Mountains Trail Project.
Jared Kennedy co-founded a company called The Outdoor Project in 2012 and built the company to be a global brand offering resources and travel guides for over 8,000 locations across the globe. In the last year, the company was acquired and since August of 2020, Jared has been the project lead for The Blue Mountains Trail Project.
His thoughts on tech-enabled conservation and connecting communities make this episode definitely worth a listen.
