In “Cultivating Peace: Healing Communities Through Healing the Earth,” we explore how Sites of Conscience can foster more resilient, equitable and healthy communities through programming that directly engages with nature and offers new approaches to how communities understand their land both past and present. This event brought together in conversation Jen Kretser, Director of Climate Initiatives at the Wild Center, a U.S. Site of Conscience in the Adirondacks, and Denis Ngala, Founder of the Manene Cultural Trust, a member in Kenya, to discuss their experiences and strategies using nature as a springboard to foster deeper understandings of how different communities have interpreted specific landscapes; to encourage communities to care for the land in big and small ways; and to develop innovative programming around the environment that promotes our shared humanity in an increasingly polarized world.
