The countdown is on for Environmental Journalism 2019 in Fort Collins, Colorado, hosted by Colorado State University! Colorado simultaneously boasts and suffers from a population explosion in Denver and other cities. This purple state is fertile ground for both clashes and collaborations among parties vying for rights to land, water and air, whether to preserve it for wildlife and human recreation or to exploit it for energy extraction. And it is fertile ground for stories! Workshops and tours are filling — register now to get your choice. Visit the conference website. See the draft agenda, find a hotel and roommates or sponsor, advertise or exhibit.

NEW! Prior to our opening plenary on Oct 11, we’ll hear from Interior Secretary David Bernhardt about the state of our public lands, in a Q and A with Juliet Eilperin, senior national affairs correspondent for The Washington Post. He will also take questions from journalists in the audience.
