The Land Trust Alliance’s 2023 Advocacy Days will allow passionate land conservation practitioners to come together to meet with a new Congress and advance important land trust policies in a way that no one land trust could do by itself. Attendees will have the opportunity to partake in both virtual and in-person activities as well as share stories about how conserving our nation’s land and water is helping their districts and states.

2023 Advocacy Days will take place in Washington, D.C. April 17-20.
