Join local BCAS conservation partner Boulder County Nature Association for their annual ecosymposium. This year’s theme is especially relevant to the unprecedented pressures our public lands are experiencing.

Speakers in this symposium will celebrate our public lands and help us see more clearly the risks and opportunities in this new landscape, so we can think soundly and respond appropriately. They will address questions such as, What are the public interests in public lands? Whose voices count in shaping the fate of our public lands, and how do we ensure that all voices are heard? When the government holds the land and resources, who keeps the government accountable to the people? And when the public interests in public lands are threatened, what can we do? Together we will strengthen our understanding of current issues in policy, law and management of our public lands, learn about efforts to protect what we have, and build our courage and our toolkits for effective public lands advocacy.
