The New Horizons Convening is an opportunity to explore drivers of progress and ongoing challenges within the conservation field.

The 2025 New Horizons in Conservation Convening invites professionals, practitioners, students, recruiters, and vendors to Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut, to explore urgent issues in the environmental field. The convening will encompass multiple perspectives in environmental institutions, environmental justice, food insecurity and sovereignty, climate and energy justice, outdoor experiences, future leadership in the environmental movement, and more. It will bring together students, academics, researchers, and professionals from a wide array of backgrounds and professional environments to give talks, participate in workshops, attend field trips, meet local leaders, and network with each other.

CLCC’s Amy Blaymore Paterson will be participating in a panel discussion on Strengthening Conservation, along with Dr. Mamie Parker, formerly of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and Humna Sharif of The Nature Conservancy. Amy’s session is scheduled for 10:40 AM on Saturday, May 10.
