What can the communities of soil under our feet teach us about resiliency? Join colleagues, neighbors, and local practitioners for a hybrid in-person and virtual evening event by the Lawrence Public Library and The Land Institute of learning, sharing, and connecting over the resilient practices all around us. The evening will feature a streamed keynote presentation by Mónica Ramírez-Andreotta, creator of Gardenroots, a welcome and presentation by The Land Institute Civic Science program, and lightning talks from local organizations. For the in-person event, food made with Kernza® (a perennial grain developed by The Land Institute) and drinks will be shared.
Attendance is limited, registration required.

The event will also connect you with local organizations and practitioners to learn about and share your participation in stewarding ecosystems and food systems in your community.
This event is part of the 2022 C*Science Conference hosted by the Citizen Science Association. The conference connects participants with a global network of colleagues from across disciplines, roles, and career stages for a week of inspiring conversations and action-oriented sessions at the virtual portion of this event. The core virtual program will take place in a single online space over four half-days from May 23-26, 2022.
