SUMMER 2022 / REAL-LEADERS.COM 85 AUSTRALIA, CANADA, AMERICA Join the Land Sharing Economy on Your Next Holiday Let’s face it, we all need some serious time outside after the past two years. Hipcamp is a growing community of goodnatured people and the most comprehensive resource for unique outdoor stays online. By connecting people with the land and each other, Hipcamp supports those who care for the land and gets more people out under the stars. They do this because they believe humans in nature bring out the best of human nature. Over 60% of the United States is privately owned. According to Hipcamp founder Alyssa Ravasio, it’s essential to the future of our planet that much of this land remains undeveloped to maintain wilderness habitats and corridors that allow plants and animals to thrive and migrate naturally. Hipcamp connects landowners who want to keep their land undeveloped with their community of responsible, nature-loving Hipcampers. “Recreation can help fund the conservation of this land,” says Ravasio. When she realized that people wanted reliable online information on unique nature spots — and that 30% of the California State Park system was threatened by closure from lack of revenue — she built technology that helped people get outside, connect with nature, and fund land preservation.
