March 2023 Lunch and Learn: Disability Inclusion

In this audio recording, panelists discuss how land trusts can become more inclusive of those with disabilities. Discover concrete steps to expand your land trust's diversity, equity and inclusion efforts with an emphasis on people with disabilities.

Created in 2021, this publication provides examples, advice and guidelines to help land trusts address and remove the barriers that prevent inclusion of people with disabilities in programs and on nature preserves.

This list of resources was created by the Advisory Council on Inclusive Health and Disability to accompany the guide Open to All: A Disability Inclusion Guide for Land Trusts. These resources can help your land trust learn how to adopt inclusive practices that benefit people with disabilities.

This publication provides the findings from a December 2020 Land Trust Alliance survey of land trusts around the country on disability inclusion.

This is a sample diversity, equity and inclusion plan from the accredited Sonoma Land Trust.

The Land Trust Alliance invited panelists to discuss the health benefits of nature and how to engage with people with disabilities to ensure equitable access.

A tool to help land trusts organize learning and grow critical Diversity, Equity and Inclusion competencies, no matter where they are in their learning journey.

This includes practice pointers, questions to consider and resources regarding Diversity, Equity and Inclusion.

Why do so many organizations just can't seem to figure out how to be more inclusive? Our Center for Diversity & Inclusion's research identified three barriers to diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) success, all of which can be attributed to leaders.

To support land trusts’ participation in the ACEP-ALE and RCPP programs, the Land Trust Alliance developed a strong partnership with NRCS. The Alliance has created new resources, grown communication between the agency and land trusts, and advocate for changes in the programs to help our community.
