ASI Poly Escapes is proud to announe the Indigenous Land Acknowledgement Project, developed by Rental Center Student Manager Nahla Sturm-Wang. Nahla created this series after recognizing the need to educate community members about the national, state, and recreational park areas visited by ASI Poly Escapes trips. A Land Acknowledgement is a formal statement that recognizes the unique and enduring relationship that exists between Indigenous Peoples and their traditional territories. These parks contain a rich history of Peoples who valued the land long before we began to explore these scenic places for recreation, and it’s important to share that.

Gear up for your next adventure. Students and off-campus community members can take advantage of our low-cost equipment rentals by visiting the Rental Center at the Cal Poly Recreation Center for a variety of camping, hiking, paddling, surfing, backpacking, and climbing gear.
