What is the E.C.O.R. Summit for Action?
The annual Equity in Conservation and Outdoor Recreation (E.C.O.R.) Summit for Action convening is an invitation to embark on a transformative journey at the intersection of equity, inclusion, and the great outdoors. Our annual two-day event is a call to action, bringing together thought leaders, activists, practitioners, and community members to engage in profound discussions about the vital role of environmental justice in conservation and outdoor recreation movements.
Why Attend:
The environment should be a place of healing and enjoyment for all, a place where nature's wonders are accessible and inviting to people of every background and identity. However, throughout American history, marginalized communities have been systematically underrepresented or intentionally excluded from the conservation and outdoor narratives and disproportionately impacted by environmental decision making. These injustices are deeply rooted in complex social and economic factors, including explicit racism, sexism, and ableism, as well as the legacy of segregation. Summit for Action is committed to confronting these issues head-on. We believe that understanding the history and impacts of environmental injustice is not only essential but also an opportunity to transform natural areas, policy spaces, and organizations into inclusive, healing, and vibrant environments that benefit all members of society.
