Citizen Science & The Next Generation of Conservation
Regular price $35.50Join Explorers Club 50 honoree and National Geographic Adventurer of the Year Gregg Treinish and learn about the intersection of exploration, citizen science, and the future of conservation efforts.
Gregg will share what can happen when we harness the passion of the outdoor community to help tackle some of the world’s most pressing environmental challenges and ways fellow adventurers and explorers can get involved. Adventure Scientists, the conservation nonprofit Gregg founded in 2011, is built on the idea that adventurers—those who traverse the most remote and rugged parts of the planet—are uniquely positioned to gather critical data that would otherwise be inaccessible. From tracking illegal timber through DNA analysis, to monitoring microplastics in oceans and rivers, to collecting biodiversity data in partnership with California’s 30x30 initiative, Gregg’s talk will highlight stories from his own adventures as well as stories from the field with Adventure Scientists.
In-person tickets are $20 for Members, and $35 for the General Public.
Check-in will begin at 6:00 pm, with a beer and wine reception from 6:00 – 7:00 pm
