Summary: For millennia, the region now known as California has had a long history of diversity, from biodiversity to a diversity of cultures, languages and resources. We’ll explore this diversity through the lens of a naturalist who works with indigenous peoples, interprets natural and cultural resources, and engages marginalized communities in a meaningful, authentic way. Join Naturalist Francis Mendoza (he/they/sila) as he presents best practices on incorporating DEI (Diversity, Equity and Inclusion) principles into our member organizations.
