About Bloedel Reserve

Our Commitment to IDEA

At Bloedel Reserve we believe that everyone should have the opportunity to experience the transformative power of the natural world. Our IDEA (Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, Accessibility) initiative is dedicated to making Bloedel Reserve a welcoming and inclusive place for all.

In ways small and large, specific and overarching, our commitment to IDEA is core to how we approach our work. We believe that the natural and designed landscapes of Bloedel Reserve provide much needed restoration, inspiration, and healing for individuals and our communities. We continue to infuse our values through our programming, because the experience of finding one’s self in nature belongs to everyone.

We are encouraged by the steps we have taken so far toward increasing access at Bloedel Reserve. These steps include acknowledging and embracing the history of our land, creating greater accessibility throughout the Reserve, crafting programming that best meets the needs of our community and collaborating with community groups to expand access to Bloedel Reserve. We remain committed to this complex and ongoing work as we continually broaden our understanding, uncover and address barriers to access, and take actionable steps to foster inclusion and diversity.
