Church of the City New London sponsored a trip on board the Black Hawk Fish Charter out of Mago Point in Waterford, Connecticut. The purpose of this event is to familiarize church members with the bountiful fisheries of the Long Island and Block Island Sounds. This was an eight hour trip in which every single person was able to harvest different species of bottom fish, such as black sea bass, porgies, mackerel, etc. 

This event gave us to opportunity to take young men that otherwise are unable to experience fishing for food and have them bring home sufficient fish to feed their families for several days.

We want to thank Hispanic Access for granting us the opportunity to give to our community by strengthening our relationship with our Hispanic students and families. We had a blast, although it was towards the end of the season and we got hailed on it is a memory we will never forget. Thank you!

Las representaciones del mundo natural y las aves a través del arte tienen el poder de evocar mensajes que la ciencia tiene dificultad para expresar por sí misma. Cuando el arte y la indagación científica se encuentran, reflejan nuestros roles como guardianes del medio ambiente, exponiendo nuestras parcialidades culturales hacia la naturaleza, otorgándonos nuevas oportunidades para apreciar y celebrar el mundo viviente y silvestre.

In honor of Latino Conservation Week. Our Juntos families (see program information below) will be taking a hike at Almaden Quicksilver County Park to learn about the Park's rich mining history and the key role that Latino miners played in the success of California Gold Rush. Families will also learn about the importance of conservation.  Our event includes a hike, picnic, Plant-a-Seed activity and a short presentation from a local non-profit called "Our City Forest" who's mission is to cultivate a green and healthy Silicon Valley by engaging community members in the appreciation, protection, growth and maintenance of the urban ecosystem, especially the urban forest.

Overview of Santa Clara County Juntos Initiative

The partnership between healthcare providers and park and environmental organizations is focused on working together and making the outdoors more inclusive and accessible. Through this partnership, which includes the City of San Jose, Veggielution, Santa Clara County Parks, Santa Clara County Public Health teams; and the dedicated providers at Santa Clara Valley Medical Center this initiative seeks to promote the health benefits of the outdoors.

The Juntos Initiative is comprised of the following three components:

1) Quarterly Park Activities (quarterly activities range from nature hikes to gardening)

2) Capitanes del Bosque (youth volunteer program)

3) Promotores (parent leadership program)

Participating Providers and Participants

Santa Clara Valley Medical Center pediatricians prescribe parks to pediatric patients and their families. Santa Clara County Public Health provides program coordination. Some key data points:

• Most participants are medi-cal recipients and greatly benefit from the physical activity and community connections made at park activities.
• Many participants are bilingual Spanish and programming is provided in Spanish/or interpretation is provided
• Over 1500 participants will be served by this program over a 3-year period.
• Most participants attend multiple walks each quarter

Each quarter 6 to 8 activities are coordinated at parks and outdoor venues for children and their families. Pediatricians attend park activities with their patients which has had a huge impact on patient health. Currently, we work closely with a Champion Provider, Dr. Laurie Cammon at the Pediatric Healthy Lifestyle Center, and her team with plans to invite other pediatric providers to write park prescriptions soon.

Join Great River Greening and Dakota County Parks as we come together to celebrate National Public Lands Day at Lebanon Hills Regional Park. Together, we will plant native prairie grasses and wildflowers furthering restoration efforts throughout this beautiful park. 

National Public Lands Day has been celebrated by the National Forest Service for 25 years and Great River Greening is proud to partner with Dakota County in promoting stewardship at Lebanon Hills Regional Park. It is a day where huge impacts are made by volunteers all across the country to improve and enjoy forests and grasslands. These volunteer contributions are incredibly valuable to public lands. 

This is a family-friendly event. Volunteers of all ages and backgrounds are encouraged to attend. No previous knowledge or experience is necessary, we will provide the tools and training required.

We will have light snacks and extra water available, however, please bring your own reusable water bottle and any additional snacks or lunch items you may need. Additional food and activities may be provided. Details to come!

Latino Conservation Week: Disfrutando y Conservando Nuestra Tierra is an initiative of Hispanic Access Foundation (HAF). Latino Conservation Week was created to support the Latino community getting into the outdoors and participating in activities to protect our natural resources.

Latino Conservation Week has also resulted in broader coverage of the Latino role in conservation in both English and Spanish media. It’s led to recognition from local, state and national elected officials of the important role Latinos play as stewards. Latino Conservation Week has emphasized the Latino community’s passion for the outdoors.

Come join Saved By Nature, Latino Outdoors, GreenLatinos and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service for an educational nature walk along the Tidelines Trail at Don Edwards San Francisco Bay National Wildlife Refuge. We’ll explore conservation of the nearby salt marsh wetlands and Baylands, and its close links with Latinx culture and heritage. During the hike, participants will have a chance to look at native water birds, native marshland plants and other marsh features. The hike is an easy trail and will take approximately an hour. A dual-sided brochure about the covered topics will be provided in Spanish and English to help drive conversation and camaraderie. Let's get out on the trail, together!

Prior to the establishment of the Harris Neck National Wildlife Refuge, a small Gullah/Geechee community occupied the lands. In 1942, 75 African American families were displaced by the federal government via eminent domain. Since 1979, descendants of the families have sought for the return of lands that were once owned by their ancestors and the original Harris Neck community -- 2,400 acres. Over the years, various attempts to find a mutually agreeable path forward have failed.

In 2020, the Harris Neck National Wildlife Refuge (NWR) and the Direct Descendants of Harris Neck Community (DDHNC) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), and formalized a commitment to mutually agreeable collaboration between the two parties. The FWS has been working together with DDHNC to redefine their relationship, and in partnership, regenerate cultural connections to NWR lands and reconnect descendants with their ancestral histories.

Our event commemorates the 1942 Harris Neck Community Diaspora and this year will be the 80th anniversary of the Diaspora. The event honors the ancestors whom inhabited the Original Harris Neck Community. We hope this event will educate people about Harris Neck but also inspire people to learn about the history of places significant to them.

Happy Latino Conservation Week! Celebrated every July, this week seeks to engage the Latinx community (and everyone) in National Park Service recreational activities and stewardship that benefit their local communities and parks. This week also emphasizes the community’s role in conservation.

On Wednesday, July 20^th, National Parks of Boston, Colonial National Historical Park, and Great Falls Park are excited to present a day-long Latino Conservation Week Webinar. This Conservation Webinar will feature presentations from employees and volunteers working for the National Park Service at sites located across the country. Join us as we learn about different conservation issues that we face today through the Latinx perspective.  

To learn more about the webinar and other activities, please visit Latino Conservation Week at National Parks of Boston - Boston National Historical Park (U.S. National Park Service) (nps.gov).

An event that will be an introduction to the Corn Creek visitor center and trails. We will have a meet and greet inside the visitor center where the participants will get the chance to explore the exhibits and ask any questions relating to the information provided. Participants may ask for any of the information to be translated or interpreted in Spanish so that everyone can enjoy the visitor center. The event will also provide sweet bread and coffee, other drinks will be provided as an alternative to the coffee for kids.

After everyone has gotten the chance to eat and explore the visitor center, there will be a short guided hike that will touch on 3 prominent features on the trails. The short guided hike is a simple introduction to the trails, in hopes that the participants come recreate on their own in the future with family and friends. Once the guided hike is completed, the participants will return to the visitor center where they can ask for any additional information. The event will have a table that provides more information on other public lands in the Las Vegas area so that they have different options. The participants will be free to go after all this but will be welcomed back in hopes that they pass along their experiences with families and friends. The ultimate end goal will be seeing a higher representation of Latinos recreating on public lands but specifically at Corn Creek Visitor Center.

Friends of the Inyo’s Latino Conservation Week Event is a FREE English-Spanish educational bilingual event to be held at Bishop City Park from 4:30 to 6 p.m. on Saturday, July 23. It is called "Shepherds of Today!" (Pastores ¡De Hoy! in Spanish) and will give an overview of the history of shepherding in the Eastern Sierra, which was traditionally done primarily by Basques for a long time, but now is being done mainly by Peruvians. We will have a panel that will include folks who worked as sheepherders until recently but have transitioned into other jobs such as ranch hands and landscapers. We also are looking to have a sheep or two, perhaps a ewe and her lamb in a pen, for children to pet. Panelists will talk about their adventures in nature; how they have seen the landscape change due to diminished water supplies because of water extraction and climate change; how they keep herds from overgrazing and contaminating rivers and streams; how fencing of herds affects the migration patterns of other (wild) animals; etc. There will also be a resource fair to assist attendees from the local Hispanic community with a variety of services.

Esta es una actividad educativa dirigida a mujeres de la comunidad donde trataremos temas como: La conservación del ambiente y las especies en peligro de extinción, como lo es la cotorra puertoriqueña, mediante una charla ofrecida por el personal del Bosque Nacional, El Yunque en Río Grande, Puerto Rico. También haremos una caminata guiada por una de las veredas adyacentes, con el propósito de reflexionar sobre cómo la naturaleza nos habla de su capacidad de resiliencia y nos invita a acercarnos con confianza a nuestros propios desafíos. Concluiremos sobre cómo los espacios verdes propician bienestar integral al ser huamano, aportando a su vez, a las participantes concienciación de la conservación de lo natural, esperanza y empoderamiento.
