In cooperation with the Lincoln Institute of Land Policy and the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University, the Institute cosponsored the first Conservation Leadership Dialogue, “Conservation in the 21st Century: A Leadership Dialogue.” This national symposium, held in June 2002 at the Lincoln Land Institute in Cambridge, Massachusetts, was a gathering of top conservation leaders. Twenty-five participants from across the country discussed innovation in conservation science, conservation education, resource protection, and stewardship.

The first dialogue launched an annual series. The second Conservation Leadership Dialogue, “Landscape-scale Conservation: Grappling with the Green Matrix,” was held June 2003 at the Presidio in Golden Gate National Recreation Area in San Francisco. Participants explored definitions, examples, and strategies used in landscape scale conservation efforts. The 2003 dialogue was cosponsored by the Lincoln Institute of Land Policy, the Program on Conservation Innovation at the Harvard Forest, QLF/Atlantic Center for the Environment, Golden Gate National Recreation Area, and Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy.
