Outdoor recreation and camping was and still sort of is exclusionary to black folks especially, but there's a lot of people trying to change that

I live in the UK so I don't think this really applies here. If you are not going out and touching grass, its on you. Not the colour of your skin.

Yes I think there are some differences between racism in the UK and the US

I am curious now, how does race stop someone touching grass in the US?

Intersectionly.

The US has extremely shit PT, with black Americans often living in already under-serviced communities, and with less disposable income and social services to support them to travel off to touch some grass.

What does PT mean in this context?

Public Transportation/Transit, is my guess, given the context
