Three Experiences of Standing Rock

Many environmental and indigenous rights workers travelled to Standing Rock to help, show solidarity, and join in the strongest international statement of indigenous solidarity and resistance to fossil fuel infrastructure of our time. One of our speakers, Sharon Alley, tells of the elders asking that everyone take coals from the sacred fire home with them in their hearts and kindle more fires where water protectors can gather. Join in kindling more fires and come hear the stories of Iris, Ariel and Sharon, three people who went to Standing Rock and were profoundly moved by the experience.

Amanda Dillon Field Ecologist from the the Albany Pine Bush Preserve Commission will speak about

Wild Bee Species and Insects in the Pine Bush

The Albany Pine Bush Preserve staff have found that many species of wild bees are present in the Pine Bush, making the Pine Bush a significant refuge for pollinator species. Amanda Dillon will talk about her work with bee species and insect conservation in an age of dramatic insect population declines globally.

Roger Downs will speak about the new, proposed changes in the New York State Environmental Quality Review Act - SEQRA. He will describe the proposed changes and how these will affect the environmental review process. Is “streamlining” needed or just a way to push through bad projects? How will limiting scoping affect the process? Roger will tell us what we can do to protect SEQRA.
