Short Description of Activity
Background and definitions, for Great American Outdoors act and 30×30, which are about the same thing. 30×30 is less politically triggering, I guess. Explanations by Shelley Silbert and Kim Pope. Here is the blurb –
Join us for a free, informative Zoom webinar presentation on how you can get involved in 30×30 (a.k.a., America The Beautiful), an effort to conserve 30% of U.S. lands, rivers, lakes, and wetlands by 2030.
Broads’ Executive Director Shelley Silbert and Sierra Club Campaign Representative Kim Pope will outline this decade-long initiative of the Biden administration to pursue a locally led and voluntary, nationwide effort to conserve, connect, and restore the lands, waters, and wildlife upon which we all depend.
They will also cover various ways we can help maintain global biodiversity and defend against the climate crisis by being involved in or initiating local efforts that contribute to 30×30.
Reflection/Evaluation
Useful, especially when I need to advocate for healthier public lands in the collaboratives on which I am a stakeholder. I look forward to the links in the chat becoming available. Lots of forest planning work to do this fall in NM.
