Held in beautiful Prince Edward County at the end of October, the theme of our 2024 Gathering was Resilient Lands, Resilient Peoples: Sharing Innovations and Diverse Approaches. It truly reflected the diversity and strength of the land trust community, and the power we have when we come together to learn and share ideas.
Thank you for joining us and helping to make the OLTA Gathering 2024 an incredible success!
As we work together to achieve the urgent goals of preserving biodiversity, ensuring climate resilience, and connecting more people with nature, we find that coming together with others who share our passion for these goals helps build our energy and commitment.
Thank you to all the presenters who generously shared their experiences and perspectives. We extend our gratitude to our sponsors, who helped ensure that more people could attend the Gathering, in particular, people from equity-deserving groups. Thank you to the OLTA Board of Governors, other volunteers, and especially the Gathering Committee, who worked tirelessly to make the event a success—it was truly a team effort!
We recognize that not everyone could attend the Gathering, and we also wish to thank those in the land trust community who kept things running smoothly while your colleagues and partners were away. We are truly a collaborative community, where everyone has a role to play in making a difference. Together, we are empowering a vibrant and enduring conservation community—and building the world that future generations need and deserve.
