Connecticut Land Conservation Conference
Workshops
Leading the Way, Environmental Activists Speak Out
Land trust leaders are worried about who is going to succeed them to ensure that their land conservation vision is carried forward. What is not as clear is how younger people feel about their role in land conservation and how (and if) they envision themselves taking charge of that perpetual responsibility. Facilitated by Connecticut Land Conservation Council (CLCC)’s Jovan Bryan, the 2024 roundtable features speakers who will share their frustrations, concerns, hopes, goals, and plans to cultivate a shared understanding and vision of the past, present, and future of land conservation.
