Volunteers for Outdoor Colorado is teaming up with Mending Mountains Collective to offer a new training for our community: Indigenous Environmental Stewardship. The goal of this training is for volunteers to deepen their understanding of Indigenous land stewardship practices and values, and to help foster a welcoming, inclusive, and collaborative culture. Please join us on this half-day workshop, followed by a session of field practice. This day is designed to open doors for outdoor enthusiasts, conservation practitioners, and dedicated volunteers, wherever they may be in their careers and journeys, in understanding the truth and reconciliation of the lands known as Colorado. Participants will strengthen their competency around land stewardship from an Indigenous perspective.
This training is free for VOC leaders and volunteers to participate in. It is our goal to remove barriers and welcome as many folks as we can for this training. We hope that participating in this training will provide an important perspective on environmental stewardship that will have a lasting impact on VOC’s work and community. We thank you for joining us on this training and for being an active steward of Colorado’s outdoors!
This training will take place in Fort Collins, Colorado on Saturday, October 5, 2024. The training will take place from 9:00am-2:00pm MST. Sign up for this training to receive the exact location.
Note: VOC is not providing food on this training so please bring your own lunch.
