"The outdoors are for everyone. We just want anybody who joins us outside to feel welcome there." - Brian Bell, Keep Virginia Cozy

Brian Bell is the founder of the Richmond-based nonprofit, Keep Virginia Cozy. An experienced backpacker, hiker, cyclist, and rock climber, Brian transformed his appreciation for the outdoors into a movement that has resulted in the removal of thousands of pounds of litter from Virginia parks, trails, and waterways while cultivating an outdoor community. Brian has been described by friends and conservationists as a “do-gooder”. In this episode, Brian was en route to one of his many outdoor adventures. Let's Go!
