Welcome to the Trustees!  We believe nature is for everyone—forever. We are dedicated to ensuring that all people, from all backgrounds, feel welcomed, respected, and connected to the special places we protect—and that includes within our workplace. Creating a culture of belonging starts with our own staff.

To support this, we have a series of mandatory trainings for all employees focusing on understanding implicit bias, noticing and combating microaggressions, and creating a more inclusive work environment.

These trainings are hosted via our training provider, Ethena. Your log-in information for this platform will be sent to your Trustees email address. Each quarter, we will post a new online training and additional resources here.

Our DBIE learning opportunities that will continue throughout the year include the following:

• Q1: DBIE Fundamentals (Ethena)
• Q2: Mini-Courses on Key DBIE Topics (Ethena)
• Q3–Q4: Virtual workshops and additional trainings tailored to staff feedback and organizational needs

You can access Ethena here.
