Nature writing is pretty white, but there are amazing works by writers of colour too! https://twitter.com/mark_carnall/status/1173267111843639296
There’s the Willowherb Review, devotes to diversity in nature writing @WillowherbRvw https://www.thewillowherbreview.com/
From the US there’s the anthology Black Nature, edited by Camille Dungy https://ugapress.org/book/9780820334318/black-nature/
And Rahawa Haile’s article about hiking as a black queer woman on the Appalachian trail https://www.outsideonline.com/2170266/solo-hiking-appalachian-trail-queer-black-woman
In the UK, Mya-Rose Craig writes about birding, diversity and racism in environmentalism. She also runs camps to connect VME youth with nature & advises conservation charities on diversity @BirdgirlUK http://birdgirluk.blogspot.com/?m=1
I wrote a blog post about histories of black and Asian nature writing in the UK, looking at writers &
artists like Ingrid Pollard and Beryl Gilroy https://culturenaturewellbeing.wordpress.com/2018/06/11/social-difference-and-nature/

Of course there’s the fab recent commission by the Forestry Commission, won by Zakiya Mckenzie from Bristol https://www.forestryengland.uk/blog/introducing-our-centenary-writers-the-forest
Also the Out of Bounds Anthology, focusing on place based poems outside of cities by BAME writers in the UK, much of which is nature writing https://www.bloodaxebooks.com/ecs/product/out-of-bounds-1024
Organisations like Backbone in Scotland tackle obstacles that local communities face getting to national parks - and if nature writing is going to diversify, its through tackling the racism of publishing AND nature access in ways like this http://www.backbone.uk.net/
Writers and organisations to follow: @ZakiyaMedia @ejbpoetry @WillowherbRvw @jessicajlee @BirdgirlUK also publishers like @peepaltreepress @dialoguebooks & @the87press which foreground works by woc & other marginalised voices
And if we’re getting into novels that’s a whole other thread but I have recommendations for days (Bessie Head! Octavia Butler! Ruth Ozeki! Amitav Ghosh! Karen Tei Yamashita!)
From Scotland, Amanda Thomson’s ‘A Scots Dictionary of Nature’ https://passingplace.com/artwork/4450383-A-Scots-Dictionary-of-Nature.html
It’s just closed, but the Nan Shepherd Prize called for entries from underrepresented writers - hopefully an annual award! @NanPrize https://canongate.co.uk/news/the-nan-shepherd-prize-for-nature-writing/
And the Write Now diversity in publishing scheme has supported nature writers in the past - it opens again in 2020

Amberflora Zine publishes eco poetry from around the world, & is breaking new ground every issue both in the poetry it publishes & the voices it shares @amberflorazine https://www.amberflora.com/
Anna Tsing is really an anthropologist and theorist but you could totally read ‘The Mushroom at the End of the World’ as nature writing. It also happens to be mind-blowingly good https://press.princeton.edu/titles/10581.html
Likewise Aphro-ism - Essays on Pop Culture, Black Feminism and Veganism 
with plenty of cool writing on Afrofuturism & environmentalism https://aphro-ism.com/2017/06/06/order-aphro-ism-today/


Lots of nature writing is also about the countryside and its traditions. Listen to Lila Matsumoto on watching the Abbots Bromley Horn Dance in Staffordshire https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m0001p13
Then there’s ‘Black Men Walking’, a play by Testament based on a northern English hiking group

Something to look forward to next year, Jini Reddy’s next book ‘Wanderland’ a nature memoir from Bloomsbury. And out now, ‘Wild Times’. @Jini_Reddy http://www.jinireddy.co.uk/books.htm
Braiding Sweetgrass - reflections on botany & indigenous science from Robin Wall Kimmerer of the Citizen Potawatomi Nation - helps to turn what you think you know about nature upside down (thanks to @AnnaVeriani for reminding me of RWK’s wonderful work!) https://milkweed.org/book/braiding-sweetgrass
