Founded in 2019, Black Girls Hike provides a safe space for Black women to explore the outdoors by hosting nationwide group hikes, outdoor activity days, and training events.

In 2024, Black Girls Hike organised a medicinal plant identification walk through Epping Forest. They worked with a plant specialist to share knowledge during the guided walk, and worked with the Grown Urban Festival, a local festival taking place across London during Great Big Green Week, to support promotion of their event and collaborate on showcasing the many ways communities in London are leading on urban agriculture, food security and sustainability. 

Watch a clip from one of our previous training sessions to hear one of the team members from Black Girls Hike sharing their experience of taking part and how they developed partnerships to deliver their event.
