    Glenn Nelson

    Based in Seattle, Wash., Glenn Nelson is the founder of The Trail Posse, which explores the intersection of race and the outdoors. He also is Community Director, leading antiracism activities for Birds Connect Seattle, where he also led the name change from Seattle "Audubon." Nelson has won several national awards for his writing, photography and Web publishing, including second place in 2020 from Best of the West for his columns on race for Crosscut and South Seattle Emerald, first-place honors from the Society of Professional Journalists in 2018, 2019, 2020, and 2021 for his columns on race for Crosscut and South Seattle Emerald, and Outstanding Beat Reporting (Race, Inclusion and Environmental Justice) from the Society of Environmental Journalists. His photography is published in Bird Photographer of the Year and has been honored by North American Nature Photograhy Association, the Audubon Photography Awards, and Share the View. Nelson also is a founding member of the Next 100 Coalition, a national alliance of civil rights, environmental and community groups advocating for more inclusive management of public lands, and a founding steering committee member of the Outdoor CEO Diversity Pledge, which advises outdoor brands on DEI work. A graduate of Seattle University and Columbia University, he was born in Japan and started his career at The Seattle Times. He later founded HoopGurlz (now at ESPN), which covered girl’s basketball and college prospects nationally, and helped found Scout.com, a network of sports websites. Nelson is the primary author of a teen book about the NBA, has been published in numerous magazines and book collections, had his photographic work appear at the Smithsonian, and has been profiled by NPR. He has served on the board of directors for several nonprofits, as well as the Washington Governor's advisory committee on outdoor recreation, the advisory committee for the Japanese American Remembrance Trail, and the Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Task Force.

    Appropriately for #FoxyFriday 🦊 this is my seco Appropriately for #FoxyFriday 🦊 this is my second-ever cover shot for @seattletimes and #PacificNorthwestMagazine. It also is my cover story, illustrated with my photos, that has been a long time in the making. I hope it promotes even a little understanding about sharing habitat with wildlife and other humans.

The online version is (at least currently) leading seattletimes.com. It and the Backstory about @livingwilderness and his iconic photo are linked in my bio.

All photos shot with #NikonZ9

The brilliant @andywoo2 makes a cameo!
