Land Conservation Conference

2021 RI & MA 2-State Land Conservation Conference
Friday & Saturday, March 19 - 20, 2021

Thank you to over 500 land conservation leaders who attended the conference. Due to the pandemic, in 2020 the RI Land and Water Partnership collaborated with the Massachusetts Land Trust Coalition to present a virtual conference. Unfortunately we are not able to share the materials from that conference in the way we have for past Summits.

Theme for the Conference:
“Building a Stronger Land Movement through Diversity, Equity and Inclusion”

Keynote speaker on Saturday, March 20: Carolyn Finney, author of Black Faces, White Spaces: Reimagining the Relationship of African Americans to the Great Outdoors, and a scholar-in-residence at Middlebury College in Vermont.
