History, despite its wrenching pain, cannot be unlived, but if faced with courage, need not be lived again. – Maya Angelou. Throughout much of its history, the land trust movement has centered the expertise and experience of white, heterosexual, cisgender men without disabilities, often to the exclusion of others. As a result, our movement has missed out on expertise of a whole host of other people and has not fully served our communities. Building upon the history presented in “The History of Private Lands and Conservation” seminar, this session will focus on understanding the systems that undergird private land ownership and land conservation and how they have resulted in limited access to land and its benefits. We will explore strategies to disrupt these systems and advance equity. We will take a new look at the common land conservation tools and explore alternatives that center Indigenous and Black leadership. Through stories and conversation, participants will begin to imagine what a new future for private land conservation might look like. Note this seminar is the second half of a day-long training. The afternoon will build on the historical content provided in the morning, so attending the morning seminar or possessing equivalent background knowledge is essential.
