In the spring, SCA will be hosting a youth in conservation summit entitled EarthVision: Actions for a Healthy Planet.
On April 24 - 27, 2008, in Washington DC, you can join forces with other young conservation leaders to exchange ideas, get hands-on training, craft policy, and plan next steps in a small and powerful joint effort to strategize actions for a healthy planet.
