Curriculum with Workshop Modules
Rally participants tell us that the number one reason they attend Rally is for the educational courses. At Rally 2009 in Portland, expert faculty presented more than 354+ educational hours over a four-day period to 1,767 attendees (including 600 First Timers!). Rally would not be the success it is, year after year, without the generous help from our faculty and we thank them for generously giving their time to strengthen the work of land trusts throughout America.
Session Formats
Seminars:
High-quality intensive trainings that delve into important issues in land conservation taught by the top leaders in their field.
