Community Speaker Series: Growing, Centering, and Connecting to Environmental Justice
Community and social connection seem to be something we both crave and need. With the recent return of our newly named Community Speaker Series, we have chosen to
focus these presentations on the themes of Grow, Center, and Connect. In doing so, we believe we can foster a more inclusive and impactful conservation movement that more clearly illustrates the interconnectedness of avian
conservation and environmental justice and will shape the future of urban conservation.
