To wind up our 40th Anniversary year, the Land Stewardship Project invites you to share in an evening of celebrating our relationships with the land and with each other by gathering online for a talk by Robin Wall Kimmerer, scientist, poet, and author of the New York Times bestselling book Braiding Sweetgrass.

Celebrating Land Stewardship with Robin Wall Kimmerer

Explore: Following Robin Wall Kimmerer’s address, an LSP member will moderate a discussion and question and answer session with the author – bring your questions, reflections and hopes for the next 40 years to share!

Give: In recognition of LSP’s 40th anniversary, you will have an opportunity during the event to make a financial gift to LSP’s Future Impact Fund, which supports strategic, high-impact initiatives not fully funded by grants. Contributions to this fund will further work such as supporting beginning farmers to access affordable land, fighting back against corporate agribusiness, deepening LSP’s racial justice work, organizing for healthcare reform, and growing the number of people involved in our work.
