Katharina Kang, education director of Groundwork Dallas, and her colleagues Samantha Conejo and Adrian Sanchez will outline The Trinity River Crew’s innovative program, which provides meaningful, paid conservation work experience, education, leadership skills and professional development training to high-potential youth from historically marginalized areas along the Trinity River.

The purpose of this program is to encourage and empower local youth through cultivating their leadership skills and providing educational and professional development opportunities as they complete meaningful conservation projects while under the guidance and expertise of Trinity Park Conservancy and Groundwork Dallas. Projects to be discussed will include: conducting water quality assessments, bird surveys, Blackland prairie restoration, wetland restoration, invasive species removals, bee sanctuary creation, urban garden designing, and monofilament recycling bin production.
