Event Description:
Though climate change impacts all living things, not all living things are equally impacted by crises like floods, wind, and heat. Access to land and natural resources--and the authority to steward them--can help local communities build resiliency to bounce back quickly from these challenging climate events. However, this access is not equally available to all communities, nor all individuals. Join us on Wednesday, April 19, as local experts explore climate justice, land stewardship, and resiliency initiatives around the region. The panelists will discuss who has been historically excluded from conservationist roles and share action steps that we all can take to educate ourselves and build climate resilience in our own communities.
