Tribal communities

The free in person event centers on “People of the Sound” that emphasizes the needs that communities around the Long Island Sound Estuary face. The goal of the Learning Exchange event is for people to come together for shared learning and collaboration, although more detailed information on the event agenda will become available in due time.

The conference will occur at the Queens Museum and is sponsored by Restore America’s Estuaries. LISCIF will partner with Tribes and communities to provide information on resource development and capacity building opportunities. This conference is free and open to the general public. Please register to help provide information regarding dietary restrictions, interpreters needed, or childcare requests. Information is accessible to those who speak English and Spanish.
