DEIJ Community of Practice

A Community of Practice

Are you interested in working on change at a broad, organizational level? Join the DEIJ Community of Practice virtual, free, bi-monthly meetings hosted by the Natural Resources Foundation.


The Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Justice (DEIJ) Community of Practice is a network of Wisconsin conservation organizations committed to engaging in and collectively advancing DEIJ work.


Established by the Natural Resources Foundation in 2021, the goal of this Community of Practice is to provide an intentional space to learn together, to set goals for personal and professional growth and improvement, and to catalyze action for diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice within Wisconsin’s conservation sector. 


We recognize that the conservation field historically has not been inclusive, equitable, or diverse, and we want to take action to change this. This Community of Practice will support organizations with goals such as integrating DEIJ into their operations and programs; making the conservation field more inclusive and diverse; and building relationships with, amplifying the voices of, and supporting the work of communities that have historically been excluded from conservation.


The Community of Practice will allow us to exchange ideas and resources related to DEIJ, while holding each other accountable as we strive to move this important work forward.
