Yo Cuento: Latinx Heritage Month
Latino Outdoors continues to celebrate Latinx Heritage Month 2022!
Known also as Latino Heritage Month and Hispanic Heritage Month, this month “traditionally honors the cultures and contributions of both Hispanic and Latino Americans as we celebrate heritage rooted in all Latin American countries.” Latinx Heritage Month starts on Sept. 15th and goes until Oct 15th. every year.
¿Por qué el 15?
This date is significant because it is the anniversary of the independence of Latin American countries including: Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua. Mexico and Chile also celebrate their independence on Sept. 16 and Sept. 18.
LHM continues until October 15th and LO has numerous events already planned!
National Public Lands Day
Don’t forget, National Public Lands Day is tomorrow! Established in 1994 and held annually on the fourth Saturday in September, National Public Lands Day is traditionally the nation’s largest single-day volunteer effort. It celebrates the connection between people and green space in their community, inspires environmental stewardship, and encourages use of open space for education, recreation, and health benefits.
Celebrate by joining an LO event or visit a National Park for free on Saturday!
