Protecting Public Lands in a Time of Uncertainty

This event will feature Theodore Hoss and will focus on the theme: "What can we do to help the parks and federal lands?" In the face of growing challenges, we’ll explore how storytelling, community engagement, and human connection can serve as powerful tools for protecting our shared natural spaces. From understanding the ripple effects of organizational changes to finding common ground across diverse perspectives, we’ll discuss how stepping away from our screens and into real conversations—especially with those outside our usual circles—can help build a stronger, more unified movement to care for our parks. Together, we’ll look at creative and collaborative ways to inspire action, deepen empathy, and protect the future of our public lands.
