The Public Lands Alliance Regional Partnership Summit brings together community-based nonprofit partners and their federal agency counterparts from across the region to share priorities and build common ground around the policy and legislative changes that would most meaningfully strengthen on-the-ground partnerships. By convening local nonprofit organizations alongside the federal agencies they work with every day, the goal of the Summit is to help transform individual advocacy efforts into a coordinated regional voice — one rooted in stronger relationships and focused on lasting impact for America's public lands.
