More about the event:
Deepen your understanding of local and national collaborations at the intersection of human and non-human communities. The discussion will look at environmental health citizen science research, The Land Institute’s Civic Science research program, and local environmental and food systems organizations. 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.
