    Stewardship Goal Team (GIT5) Meeting 2024

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

    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.

    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

    2019 Environmental Literacy Leadership Summit

    Thursday, June 27, 2019 from 9:30am - 3:30pm
    The Summit goals include reaffirming commitments to the 2014 Chesapeake Bay Watershed Agreement’s Environmental Literacy Goal. Most importantly, the Summit will highlight the challenges and explore possible solutions to the equitable distribution of environmental education resources and opportunities. The Summit will explore systemic environmental education and how it can drive diversity, equity and inclusion. Summit participants will share successful models and have the opportunity to share both challenges and successes encountered when implementing these models on a large scale. Formal and informal discussions will identify strategies that may work within a jurisdiction to provide equitable environmental instruction for all students. All participants will be engaged in identifying specific next step actions by jurisdiction to implement as follow-up to the Summit.

    Igniting Internal Connections Within Stewardship Meeting

    Wednesday, May 29, 2019 from 1:00pm - 4:00pm
    Objective: We are planning a workshop focused on the intersection of stewardship work. This workshop, to be held in September, will bring together members of the Stewardship GIT and its supporting groups to identify and begin a conversation about common areas of interest, breaking down the silos between the workgroups and creating intentional network connections. Areas of interest will include diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice. The workshop will be designed to identify specific topics and activities to pursue across workgroups.
