Peterman is an author and leader in the movement to engage more Americans of color in the enjoyment, care and protection of our national parks and public lands system. She has written several books including “Our True Nature: Finding a Zest for Life in the National Park System,” a travel guide to the national parks system, and “Legacy on the Land: A Black Couple Discovers Our National Inheritance and Tells Why Everyone Should Care,” which she co-authored with her husband, Frank. Her achievements have been recognized with awards including the Environmental Hero Award, the Marjory Stoneman Douglas Outstanding Citizen Advocate Award and the Lifetime Achievement Award from Outdoor Afro. Thanks to her efforts, President Obama issued a Presidential memorandum in 2017 promoting diversity and inclusion in our national parks, forests and other public lands and waters.
