Each year, the Land & Water Conservation Summit brings together over 300 community leaders who are passionate about protecting and restoring our lands and waters. Register now for the 13th Annual Land & Water Conservation Summit which will be held on Saturday, March 19 at the URI Memorial Union.
The 2016 Summit features a very timely keynote address, “Conservation in this Century; What America Can Learn from the Ocean State” by Collin O’Mara, President of the National Wildlife Federation.
The threats to America’s natural resources, ranging from imperiled wildlife and degraded water to unhealthy air and climate-induced storms have never been greater. Yet, in Rhode Island and in communities across our nation, successes that are replicable and scalable highlight the potential paths forward. In his talk, O’Mara will speak about these pressing challenges and show how recent victories in Rhode Island that married grassroots activism with forward thinking public policy offer models for action in every state in the country.
The National Wildlife Federation is America’s largest wildlife conservation organization. Under Collin’s leadership, the Federation focuses on: conserving wildlife from bighorn sheep to pollinators like monarch butterflies and native bees, defending public lands and access to outdoor recreation, restoring America’s waterbodies, improving habitat resilience, advancing environmental education, and connecting every American child with the great outdoors.
