💬 ECO COMMUNITY EXPO & LAND STEWARDS CIRCLE: Share Your Vision, Call In Support
Throughout the event, we’ll host dedicated sessions for community land stewards across the Northeast to:
- Present what they’re working on
- Name the challenges they’re facing
- Call in the support, collaborators, funding, or tools they need
Key to bioregional regeneration is witnessing one another, building trust, and aligning around shared priorities.
