This month, we hosted our largest-ever annual TOGETHER Conference at Fort Mason! Conservationists and practitioners from across the Bay Area came together to share meals, get curious, and connect with one another about possibilities and what can happen when we all work together. In a season of ups and downs, unknowns and changing landscapes, our community spent the week immersing in hope, possibilities, and collaborative solutions to whatever comes our way. 

While we wish we could transport back to relive the experience all over again, time travel is a little tricky. The best we can do is share some snippets of the conference we captured with you all: 

• Watch the conversation with Richard Roos-Collins, general counsel for the Klamath River Renewal Corporation which undertook the largest dam removal in history, about how pigs can fly. 🐷
• Listen to the walk-up songs attendees shared in the chat! Save the playlist for the next time you’re walking into an important meeting 🕺
• Check out all the beautiful photos from the conference and field trips! (photo credit: Jennifer Hale Photography)
