SEJ's 29th Annual Conference, Fort Collins, CO [43]

Environmental Journalism 2019 will take place 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! Visit the conference website [44]. See the draft agenda [45], find a hotel and roommates [46] or sponsor, advertise or exhibit [47].
