✨ Session Highlight ✨ Building Equity in Conservation & Outdoor Acces⁠
⁠
The Sierra Nevada is known around the world for its iconic and beautiful outdoor places. Yet for too many Californians these places, recreational activities, career pathways in conservation, and their benefits remain out of reach. Join us for a conversation with 40 Acre Conservation League, Hispanic Access Foundation, Washoe Tribe of Nevada and California, and Dunlap Band of Mono Indians on community-led endeavors that build equity in conservation, connect people who lack access, and help foster a sense of belonging for all Californians in the outdoors and conservation work.⁠

The U.S. Forest Service is facing massive budget cuts and freezing hires for 2025. While the jobs of avalanche forecasters may be protected for now, we want permanent-seasonal forecasters to be allowed to extend their tours so that they are able to use vacation time at the end of the season (forecasting often leads to working overtime and they are too busy during the season to take time off) and we want avalanche centers to have the ability to spend money raised by partner organizations (like they normally do). Neither of these exemptions have been granted yet. How can you help? Find out through our link in bio. ⁠
