We are seeking proposals for sessions related to agriculture, natural resource management and conservation, traditional knowledge and practices, outdoor exploration, sustainability, and more. Each submission should clearly support community building, career development, and/or skill sharing that is centered on Black peoples in the environmental sciences and arts. We welcome proposals from environmentalists of all kinds including (but not limited to!) activists and organizers, artists and creatives, scholars and students, and professionals at all stages of their career.
