MINNESOTA STORYTELLING
Outside Chance Whether participating or spectating, Minnesota is an endless playground for outdoor activities and traditions. Outside Chance — a web series featuring new and traditional outdoor activities – highlights Minnesota’s outdoor culture and is hosted by yogi, emcee, rapper, and outdoor enthusiast Chance York. SciGirls in the National Parks A new season of the TPT-produced, national series SciGirls will concentrate on exploring our nation’s great national parks and how science intertwines with the outdoors. The seventh season of the acclaimed series will follow real girls as they conduct citizen science in tandem with forest rangers in national parks. We’ll also feature special outdoors content from Minnesota Experience , Almanac , One Greater Minnesota , and Next Avenue to discuss planning, policy, and climate crisis awareness. These shows will also highlight the history of our state’s natural heritage and outdoors culture, and provide perspectives from Indigenous, BIPOC and immigrant community members.
TPT’s broadcast channels will also feature curated outdoors content for viewers across the state.
...AND MORE!
Stay tuned for more exciting elements that may include educational experiences and outdoor events like the “slow-roll” Biking Through History for Your Health adventure in 2021 and the Winter Warm-up event in 2022, both of which were partnerships with organization Melanin in Motion which aims to encourage BIPOC Minnesotans to enjoy the outdoors. Along the way, look for other opportunities to get involved with the TPT’s Minnesota Outdoors Initiative. We aim to inspire everyone to enjoy the outdoors, to explore our state’s wild spaces and to take a deeper interest in caring for this special place.
