Workshops
Looking at Conservation More Broadly
In this facilitated conversation, participants will look at conservation through a broader lens, focusing on how diversity helps achieve conservation goals. We will discuss ways in which different cultural groups experience and regard nature, how that impacts ways in which our conservation lands are used and stewarded, and what types of diversity we seek and foster in our organizations and on our lands. Facilitators David Sutherland and Jessica Harrison will create an environment that is comfortable and fosters healthy dialogue.
