Join the Northern Rockies Conservation Cooperative and partners for a free evening exploring the future of conservation and democracy in the Greater Yellowstone region. This culminating public event of the 10th Biennial Northern Rockies Conservation Symposium features an awards ceremony, keynote address, and community reception.

The evening begins at 5:00 pm with recognition of local conservation leaders through the Craighead Conservation Award, the Meg & Bert Raynes Citizen Conservation Award, and the inaugural Yellowstonian Legacy Award.

Dr. Christina Cromley Bruner of For 250 More will then deliver a keynote address on the vital connections between civic engagement and environmental stewardship, examining how the existential threats facing democracy are directly connected to the future of sustainability in the Greater Yellowstone region.

The program concludes with a reception and special art exhibit, offering an opportunity to connect with speakers, participants, and community members.

Free and open to the public; no registration required.
