The Yale Center for Environmental Justice (YCEJ), in collaboration with the Aspetuck Land Trust and the Yale Center for Business and the Environment (CBEY), has released a groundbreaking toolkit to help land trusts create lasting pathways to land justice. The Land Justice & Land Trusts Toolkit is a practical, action-oriented resource designed to support land trusts in implementing land justice principles across diverse communities and environments, addressing historical and current injustices. Rooted in a commitment to equity and environmental stewardship, the toolkit equips land trusts and allied organizations with frameworks and guidance to promote equitable land access for all, foster affordable ownership, strengthen regional farm and food systems, and promote inclusive decision-making.
To accompany the launch, YCEJ will host a series of webinars throughout the summer that feature land justice practitioners and tool experts who will share real-world insights on implementation, challenges, and opportunities.
Webinar #1: June 13, 2:00-3:00 PM, UNderstanding Agricultural and Cultural COnservation Easements
