Body Positive Hiking with Paige Emerson

Body Positive Hiking with Paige Emerson In-Person

The Blue Hill Library is sponsoring a talk with Paige Emerson of Chubby Hiker Reviews on Body Positive Hiking on Tuesday, May 21 at 6PM in the library's Howard Room. 

The Blue Hill Peninsula is home to beautiful hiking trails, and as the seasons change, it's important to get outside. Paige Emerson is the founder of Chubby Hiker Reviews, a social media account where she reviews hikes in Maine as someone who is plus sized. She encourages people of all body types to get outdoors and she does advocacy work for folks in fat bodies. Her main goal is to work for inclusion and accessibility in outdoor spaces. In addition to being a trail reviewer, Paige is also a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and a Registered Maine Guide. She will be discussing her work and her favorite trails in a presentation titled 'Body Positive Hiking'.

This program is free and open to all and will be held in the library's Howard Room. For more information, please email Kayleigh at kayleigh.thomas@bhpl.net, or call the library at 374-5515.
