Together Conference
The 2025 Together Conference will focus on possibility and collaboration as we work for climate resilience and equity, healthy lands and communities. You’re invited to join hundreds of colleagues to make connections and find ways to work together for the lands and watersheds that are integral to a thriving Bay Area and all people who live here.
Field Trips
We co-host field trips with our member organizations to learn, brainstorm, problem solve, and increase regional coordination. Lunch is served in order to encourage relationship building and power creative thinking about today’s challenges and opportunities.
Examples of field trip discussion topics include:
- Balancing habitat conservation with public access
- Restoration of natural and cultural resources
- Managing natural areas for wildfire risk and outdoor recreation
- Opening new parks to visitors while prioritizing equitable access
Working Groups & Programs
TOGETHER Bay Area hosts ongoing working groups and programs to bring together our partners and make progress toward our strategic priorities.
Policy Committee
Our Policy Committee meets regularly to advocate effectively towards our policy priorities through a collaborative and equity-centered approach. All TOGETHER Bay Area members are invited to participate in the Policy Committee. Policy Committee meetings are venues for learning, community building, joy, and mobilizing for shared goals.

Right Relations
Right Relations, a program co-designed and co-led with Redbud Resource Group, is a 9-month, cohort-based program that supports alliances with local Native American communities through learning, action, and community. We are catalyzing collective action for healthy lands, people, and communities and building the region’s capacity to strengthen Tribal sovereignty. Learn more >
Wildfire Data Working Group
The wildfire paradigm is shifting to adapt to the climate crisis, and TOGETHER Bay Area members are on the front lines of that shift. Since the spring of 2021, TOGETHER Bay Area has been convening a working group of data compilers to learn from one another, share information, and build our regional understanding of the impacts of fire on the land.

Showcases
Climate Risk Reduction: A Showcase of Bay Area Solutions
In this online event series in 2024, we heard from local experts about how the Bay Area is stepping up to mitigate the effects of the climate crisis and how Proposition 4, which was on the ballot in November 2024 and successfully passed, could positively impact the natural places you love.
Together Tuesdays
Learn about TOGETHER Bay Area member organizations’ projects and programs while also learning about the value of this coalition. Members share presentations to give a big-picture view on what’s happening around the region on a variety of topics. And we offer opportunities to meet and connect with peers from around the region.
Job Board
Our ability to make an impact depends on who is involved. Who is at the table changes the conversation. Our Job Board is one way that this coalition works for justice, equity, and belonging. It’s free and accessible to anyone. TOGETHER Bay Area members and their dues make this Job Board possible.
