We are living at the historic intersection of agriculture and conservation. Surely, water, wolves, wildfires and invasive species are examples of the challenges we face, but the issue is bigger, broader. Does it sometimes feel like we’re coming apart more than we’re coming together? Bridging the urban/rural divide has never been more important as we seek solutions.   

Please join Lesli Allison, CEO of the Western Landowners Alliance and Monique DiGiorgio, community leader and climate activist, for a conversation and discussion about the future of the land we love – in cities, ranches and farms – in Durango, in Colorado, and throughout the West. With an introduction to the landscape by Adrienne Dorsey, Executive Director of La Plata Open Space Conservancy.

Through Monique’s role, Western Landowners Alliance has been working in the Colorado River Basin to connect place-based organizations with capacity and funding to implement water related projects on-the-ground ranging from conservation and efficiency to restoration.
