Understanding Racial Equity and Inclusion in Conservation

This interactive workshop will explore racial equity in society, and especially focus on the history of racial inequity in conservation and the environmental movement. August Ball, Founder and CEO of Cream City Conservation, will examine the history and concepts behind racial inequities and lead our interactive discussion. Wisconsin’s Green Fire is co-hosting this program with our allied organizations Gathering Waters and the Natural Resources Foundation of Wisconsin.
