Description
Join Southern Nevada Conservancy for an inspiring journey through the Women in Science Speaker Series, a collaborative initiative between the Bureau of Land Management and Southern Nevada Conservancy, held at the picturesque Red Rock Canyon Amphitheater the first Friday of the month. Delve into the worlds of local women in STEM as they share their expertise, connection to the land, and the impact of STEM in their lives. These captivating events promise insightful discussions and enlightening perspectives. In the event of inclement weather, we’ll shift the excitement indoors to the Visitor Center, ensuring an enriching experience regardless of conditions. Don’t miss out on these empowering conversations shaping the future of Nevada’s public lands and site stewardship.
