How Land Trusts Can Better Serve the LGBTQ+ Community

Happy Pride Month! How does your land trust serve members of the LGBTQ+ community? Like many marginalized communities, it can be easy to overlook the specific needs of the LGBTQ+ community if you aren’t being intentional about it. Join Joe Toolan from the Nature Conservancy and Forrest Cortes from the Chesapeake Bay Trust to learn about barriers to access and how to incorporate members of your local LGBTQ+ community into your decision making. We will also hear from Todd Farrington at the Big Sur Land Trust on how they serve the community through their summer camps for LGBTQ+ youth.
