The 5th Naturally Latinos Conference is scheduled for Wednesday, January 24th, through Saturday, January 27th. Themed “Pertenenciendo: Nuestras RaÍces, Nuestra Tierra (Belonging: Our Roots, Our Earth),” this multi-media experience will provide virtual (Wednesday and Thursday) and in-person (Friday) dialogue, presentations and performances focused on the needs and interests of the Washington, DC region and even national and international Latine environmental professionals, environmental justice advocates, educators, and nature enthusiasts.

The conference will also include a day of immersive outdoor nature experiences appropriate to the time of year. We are currently finalizing our dynamic speakers and panelists and compelling performing artists, including a keynote address by Vanessa GarcÍa Polanco, a researcher and Government Relations Director at the National Young Farmers Coalition. An anticipated 400 attendees will leave Naturally Latinos 2024 inspired, reinvigorated, and connected to a growing community of people bringing about environmental change.
