How do we get people to care about conservation? The answer is easier than you think.

Invite them outdoors.

Hear us out.

It’s hard to convince a group of people that our environment needs saving if they never get to experience it. Inviting someone to camp, go on a hike, or spend a day at the lake can leave a lasting impression of their outdoor experience.

Through those positive experiences, they can become advocates for keeping our lands protected so that others can experience the outdoors the way they did.

NEW EPISODE! Co-host Alison Mariella Désir @alisonmdesir is joined by Jade Stevens @msjadesaid, Executive Director and Co-Founder of the 40 Acre Conservation League, California’s first Black-led land conservation organization.

Through her conservation work with the League, Stevens aims to increase public access to land for underrepresented groups while protecting it.

In this conversation, Alison and Jade discuss topics of what land conservation is, land trusts, and how expanding access to public lands can help raise awareness of conservationism for everyone.

Jade also discusses the origins of the League's name, a reference to the unfulfilled promise by the US government after the Civil War to provide 40 acres and a mule to formerly enslaved African Americans.

This conversation is so good!

Season 3 is sponsored by Altra @altrarunning

Tune in to Earthmovers season 3, available on all streaming platforms, including Spotify, Apple, and YouTube. Links in bio.

40 Acre Conservation League Executive Director Jade Stevens recently joined @visitplacer Summit to speak on a panel to share the vision for @gatewayparkadventures and the opportunities it will create for outdoor recreation, conservation, environmental education, and sustainable tourism in Placer County. Following the discussion, we were excited to welcome members of the Placer Business Alliance for a tour of the property and a firsthand look at what’s ahead.
A special thank you to Placer County Supervisor Suzanne Jones for joining us and taking the time to learn more about the project and its potential impact on the region.
We are grateful to Visit Placer, the Placer Business Alliance, and everyone who joined us for their support and enthusiasm as we work to create a place where more people can connect with the outdoors. by @msjadesaid
