When many of us think about conservation and public lands conservation we envision peaks and wild rivers or our favorite camping spot.  But public lands can also play key role in curbing climate impacts and powering our clean energy future. From reforming how we get critical minerals for clean technology, to large-landscape planning for utility-scale solar and wind projects, our public lands are a major part of the solution. But all of this must be balanced with how we approach large-landscape conservation. Come hear how local communities, businesses, and the government are working together to ensure our public lands are protected, while also supporting clean energy projects that will help us meet our climate goals.
