The National Fish and Wildlife Foundation invites you to join us for the 2022-23 watershed-wide “Chesapeake-Bay Agriculture Networking Forum and Listening Sessions.” The Forum brings together NFWF grantees, partners, and practitioners in agricultural conservation from across the region to discuss emerging trends and topics, network and share ideas, and inform what’s next in our collective efforts towards greater agricultural sustainability.
The National Fish and Wildlife Foundation invites you to join us for the 2022-23 watershed-wide “Chesapeake-Bay Agriculture Networking Forum and Listening Sessions.” The Forum brings together NFWF grantees, partners, and practitioners in agricultural conservation from across the region to discuss emerging trends and topics, network and share ideas, and inform what’s next in our collective efforts towards greater agricultural sustainability.
This year’s Forum will be delivered virtually through a series of focused, crowd sourced sessions. We’ve identified eight important, emerging topics related to our shared work, framed around key questions that we’re seeking your help in answering. For each session, NFWF will host series of 5–15-minute flash talks that help answer, at least in part, each key question. After hearing from selected presentations, participants will then have the opportunity for loosely structured networking and discussion on each topic, with the goal of leaving each session with new understanding, ideas, and partners to help tackle these shared challenges. While typically an invite-only event, the virtual format of the 2022-23 Forum allows us to extend the invitation to all those interested! Please feel free to share with your colleagues.
