California Natural Resources Agency's Digital Environmental Engagement Resource Catalogue
The California Natural Resources Agency and the California Environmental Protection Agency developed a resource catalogue of online sessions focused on community engagement and equity. The catalogue comes from the “Online Environmental Engagement: Building Our Skills Together" virtual conference held in June 2020 where panelists and attendees from across the state discussed their successes, challenges and practical tips for online environmental engagement. The Resource Catalogue includes nine hours of webinar recordings in English and Spanish, PowerPoint slides, fliers, panelist bios, and more.
