Background on equity and inclusion
Resources to learn about the experiences of diverse and underserved communities and how inequity and exclusionary practices have shaped conservation, farming, landscapes, and communities. These resources are just a starting place: the best way to learn about the specific needs, interests, and priorities of communities is by listening directly to community members in your area and the community-based groups that serve them.
