Practices of Conservation in Cities in North America
Practice of Conservation in Cities is the companion to the original Field Guide to Conservation in Cities from 2017. Within these pages are stories, not prescriptions, on how the practice of community-centered conservation work has evolved to create a more durable and equitable change in cities across the United States. This resource shares evolving practices and perspectives that inform conservation approaches, ranging from the benefits of community forests to participatory grant funding to values-based storytelling, all rooted in unlocking more equitable outcomes for all city dwellers.
