“Rally was fantastic from start to finish — efficient, professional, incredibly enriching and loads of fun. I often say to people from outside of the land conservation world that this is the best professional meeting I ever go to, by a considerable margin.”
— Henry Tepper, strategic conservation advisor to the Fundación Tierra Austral Land Trust in Chile
