The Environmental Studies Club proposed a two-day Northern California Intercollegiate Climate Community Conference, which aims to bring together students, faculty, and staff from universities and colleges that often feel isolated. The conference seeks to address the urgent need for collaborative efforts to tackle climate change, and to provide a platform for sharing knowledge, experiences, and best practices among the participants. Each invited school will be requested to bring a presentation on their campus climate initiatives, accompanied by a faculty member and art.

This idea requested funding for the second Indigenous Foods Festival (IFF) at Cal Poly Humboldt, which previously had 350 attendees. The Indigenous Foods Festival is focused on uplifting Indigenous Food Sovereignty across many regions. This inspiring event centered around the important work that folks across communities are doing to elevate Indigenous knowledges and foodways.

This project is an extension of the Ethnobotanical Mapping project (See project page here) and is thus sharing funds. From Karley Rojas, 05/03/2024- "The ‘Place Based Learning Practices Project: a diptych case study of more than human relationality at the tribal and western institutional interface’ is my thesis project, within the Environment and Community graduate program which has adopted the Ethnobotanical Mapping project within its scope.
