2022 Schedule – Central Time

This session focuses on land trusts as social entrepreneurs, shepherding the movement from large-scale, raw land protection to small-scale, interconnected repurposing of land and its uses. Presenters will share their new forms of conservation experiences engaging people of all backgrounds and abilities with land for outdoor recreation, agriculture, and education; redeveloping already-built environments for new uses such as shelter, food sharing, and gathering places; and undeveloping lands to support revitalized ecological and human systems, including sacred and foraging Indigenous spaces.
