Stewardship Goal Team (GIT5) Meeting 2024

This meeting is open to the public. It may be recorded for internal use only.

Date and Time

Monday, September 23, 2024 from 10:00am - 3:30pm

Purpose

This will be more than a meeting. Let’s venture outside of our normal spaces, learn together, and get energized. The day will include guest speakers from Anacostia Parks and Community Collaborative and Ward 8 Woods Conservancy, a short guided walk in the woods to see the results of community stewardship and access to greenspace, lightning updates on what workgroups are doing, and lots of interaction and conversation about the power of inclusive multiple-benefit efforts. A full agenda is forthcoming.

Purpose:

  • Experience, witness, and consider the powerful, meaningful impact that can be achieved by connecting land conservation, access to nature, education, programming, stewardship and attention to equity and inclusion.

  • Infuse new perspectives, spark ideas and inspire discussion around how all of our different lines of work intersect, and how we can increase our collaboration and coordination toward more collective, strategic impact.

  • Get outside, talk with each other, connect.

  • Explore how to increase benefits across multiple outcomes by pairing needs and priorities of the community with CBP environmental conservation efforts.

Format: This is primarily an in-person meeting, but all indoor portions of the meeting will be available for virtual participation.

Location: Anacostia Community Museum - 1901 Fort Place SE, Washington, DC 20020
