Lucienne Nicholson
Independent contractor — Sustaining BIPOC Leadership retreats and Emerging Stewards Initiative
Lucienne serves as an independent contractor with ADI. She facilitates ADI’s Sustaining BIPOC Leadership retreats and works with the Emerging Stewards Initiative — holding that a relationship with nature is essential for all persons, and that equitable access to the outdoors improves the physical, mental, and spiritual health of vulnerable populations.

ADI is guided by our Core Team: a diverse group of committed volunteers who are integrated into their communities as leaders and change agents.
