Tiara Chapman (she/her) is a bonafide Nature Nerd who inspires her community to run, jump, play, and explore at Lewisville Lake Environmental Learning Area and greenspaces throughout the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex. Tiara knows that personal connections to nature can bring about healing, strengthen relationships, and improve one's health and wellness. In recognizing the intersectionality of this work, she's built partnerships on a local, state, and federal level to ensure folx have equitable access to the outdoors. She firmly believes that everyone should be able to access nature from wherever they are, be it a 2600-acre nature preserve or from their living rooms. This is why she is dedicated to utilizing the tools of the 21st Century to create compelling stories, advocate for inclusion, and smooth down barriers to the outdoors.

In her free time, Tiara consumes books like happy meals, curates a bangin' indoor and outdoor garden, and unsuccessfully tries to nuzzle Twila, her husband's 16-year-old cat.
