This year’s conference theme, Real Solutions for Working Lands, centers on practical, producer-driven conservation that works across private, state, tribal, and federal lands. The conference will highlight how Arizona’s producers and conservation districts serve as problem-solvers and connectors, linking local knowledge gained through experience, technical expertise, and partnerships to deliver on-the-ground outcomes. The theme reflects a core truth of conservation in Arizona—that local knowledge and lived experience are essential to resilient, long-term solutions. Speaker sessions will focus on actionable approaches that strengthen working lands while supporting strong, sustainable communities and economies.
