Race in nature stewardship: an autoethnography of two racialised volunteers in urban ecology

Urban Farm DB summary

This autoethnography by two racialized volunteers (Black and South Asian) in Toronto, Canada, examines how race intersects with urban nature stewardship, including tree planting and community gardens. It finds that racialized people are largely absent from nature stewardships despite being the majority population, and that most projects use a color-blind approach that masks systemic racial inequities at personal, place-making, and ecological levels.
