About This Webinar
To celebrate Pride Month, the Alliance is excited to provide this webinar recording to our members for free in June 2024! The price will show as $0 once you are going through the registration process.
Happy Pride Month! How does your land trust serve the LGBTQ+? Like many marginalized communities, it can be easy to overlook the specific needs of the LGBTQ+ community if you aren’t being intentional about it. Join Joe Toolan from the Chesapeake Bay Trust and Forrest Cortes from the Nature Conservancy to learn about barriers to access and how to incorporate members of your local LGBTQ+ community into your decision making. We will also hear from Todd Farrington at the Big Sur Land Trust on how they serve the community through their summer camps for LGBTQ+ youth.
In this webinar, you will learn about:
the intersection of LGBTQ+ and environmental issues
incorporating the LGBTQ+ community into decision making
how other organizations have found success serving the LGBTQ+ community
The five rules for successful advocacy
If you do advocacy, you know why it is important. If you don't, please consider getting in the game. It is our right as members of our communities, our duty and responsibility as citizens and professionals, and our legacy, because beyond the lands we protect, what more could we leave behind than a strong social and political network to ensure they will be cared for by future generations?
