How does Black Birders Week fit into land trust’s scope of work?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Black Birders Week is an opportunity for Black land trust employees to connect with other Black conservation professionals across the country to exchange stories, resources, and joy! It’s also a great way for non-Black conservation professionals and organizations to learn about racial and\/or economic barriers that persist in conservation\/the outdoors, hear about exciting conservation projects, network, and support Black colleagues. While not the focus, land trusts may also learn of professionals or Black-led organizations that they wish to partner with in the future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
