Taking Nature Black

Join NPCA for the Audubon Naturalist Society’s Taking Nature Black Conference this February.

Taking Nature Black is back, and it’s bigger, “badder,” and bolder than ever!

TNB 2021 will run for FIVE DAYS, primarily virtually, from Tuesday, February 23rd through Saturday, February 27th.

Our theme is “Call and Response: Elevating our Stories, Naturally!” This year we’re elevating our stories chautauqua-style, so be on the lookout for speakers, creators, innovators, scientists, educators, musicians, artists, and entertainers telling their stories about everything from climate change to environmental justice and environmental joy in creative ways.

See the conference website for more details on the agenda and featured speakers, including NPCA’s Alan Spears, senior director for cultural resources. Alan will speak as part of the Politics of the Environment Panel on Feb. 24 at 11:20 a.m.

Check out the website for updates on this landmark event, and be sure to follow the conference on social media using the hashtag #TakingNatureBlack
