Instructor: Peter Forbes

How do land trusts meaningfully engage in issues of justice, equity and inclusion in their conservation work? Join long-time conservation practitioner Peter Forbes as he presents an introduction to land justice and how it can transform your land trust and your community. We’ll discuss the primary reasons why land justice is central to the future of land conservation and what it can mean for your land trust. We will take a deep dive into one project that is transforming land conservation in Maine: First Light, a collaboration between 50 land trusts and the Wabanaki Confederacy to learn, repair and return at the speed of trust. 

Here’s a look at what we will cover:

• Why land justice is central to future of land conservation
• What tools land conservation groups are using to share land and the resulting benefits
• Strategies for starting a land justice program and lessons learned
