About this Event
Who stewards the land shapes what the land becomes. Join the America the Beautiful for All (AtB4A) Legacy Lands Workgroup during Climate Week NYC for the release of our new action plan centering Black, Indigenous, and communities of color in private land conservation.
This plan was built through a consent-based, participatory process with the farmers, ranchers, land trust practitioners, and organizers doing this work in their own communities every day. On September 21, we bring their solutions into the room.
What to expect: a walkthrough of the action plan and its recommendations, conversation with the practitioners and organizers who shaped it, and time to connect with land trusts, advocates, and coalition partners working where conservation and justice meet.
Who should attend: land trust and conservancy staff, conservation and climate funders, farmers and ranchers, policymakers and agency staff, researchers, organizers, and anyone at Climate Week who believes private land conservation must center the communities who have stewarded land for generations.
Know before you go: Doors open at 1:30 PM for check-in. This is a midtown office building, so please bring a photo ID matching the name on your registration and allow a few minutes for building security. The program begins promptly at 2:00 PM. For accessibility accommodations or questions, contact [email protected] by September 14.

About America the Beautiful for All: The America the Beautiful for All Coalition unites 300+ organizations across missions, ecosystems, communities, and cultures to steward nature in a way that upholds environmental justice and defends public health. Launched in 2022, we follow the leadership of, and define our priorities with, the communities living closest to the lands, waters, and wildlife that extractive corporations and their allies in office put at risk. Through storytelling, collective advocacy, and capacity building, we work toward a world where every person is breathing fresh air, drinking safe water, and thriving in the places that make our country and its territories beautiful.
