Please join us on March 18, at 10:30 am to learn about the Indigenous Perspective of Land Restoration presented by Courtney King. She is a citizen of the Peoria Indian Tribe of Oklahoma, who lives and works in the Kansas and Wakarusa River Valleys in present-day Lawrence. Growing up in Shawnee, KS, she moved to Lawrence to attend Haskell Indian Nations University in 2019. After graduating with a degree in Environmental Science, she is pursuing a Masters Degree while also serving as the Program & Land Stewardship Manager for the USDA Tribal College Equity Grant at Haskell as well as the University’s greenhouse manager.
The presentation will cover:
- Restoration of woodland, wetland, and prairie lands
