The Metro is 1 year old! To celebrate, we're sharing some of our favorite stories from our first year of episodes.

Ian Solomon is the founder of Amplify Outside and communications and engagement manager for the Detroit Parks Coalition. He joined the show in January to discuss how Amplify Outside works to remove barriers that prevent people from enjoying the outdoors.
