Nature Governance in the Adirondacks with Talking Rivers

Thursday, Nov 7, 6 PM, @ ACW

What if Nature was on the Board of Directors of every nonprofit in the Adirondacks? What if businesses listened to the voice of ecosystems before making decisions that would impact them? Businesses and nonprofits from the Netherlands to the Bahamas are striving to act in a respectful way with the ecosystems that comprise their homes, making sure the ecosystem is considered in the decision making process. Join Blake and Tzintzun from Talking Rivers as they return to ACW for an open conversation on “Nature Governance” and how its central tenets could be applied here in the Adirondacks through our nonprofits, businesses, and municipalities. Together we can meet Nature’s needs and respect the rights of all. This round-table discussion is free and open to all.

Blake and Tzintzun (both they/them) are two environmental story-makers from the Talking Wings Collective, who helped found Talking Rivers. In collaboration with Talking Rivers, they are currently working to create spaces in which humans can unite to protect the land and water they call home. Blake and Tzintzun reside as settlers along the banks of Akwesasne/St. Regis River, their friend and guardian. This River flows through New York’s North Country, Haudenosaunee Territory, to meet with Kaniatarowanénhne, the Great or St. Lawrence River.
