It is a top priority for public lands and waters, national parks, wildlife refuges and land trusts to develop strategies to effectively and meaningfully engage diverse groups and new generations of constituents to visit and protect wild places. This panel will examine strategies implemented by U.S. and Canadian Parks systems designed to connect new communities to the natural world. This is an excellent opportunity for you to discuss ways that your program, policies or people can participate in these efforts.
