Many Latino communities bring diverse cultural heritage, deep-rooted connections to the land, and powerful leadership to the movement for equitable access and representation. This toolkit is designed to support individuals and organizations in building on that strength to ensure Latino voices, stories, and stewardship are reflected in our public lands. Whether you’re a grassroots leader, policy advocate, community educator, or engaged resident, this toolkit is for you.

This toolkit was developed by Hispanic Access Foundation to support Latino communities, advocates, and policymakers in understanding and championing equitable public land management and conservation efforts. It uplifts Latino voices and priorities, often overlooked in mainstream environmental narratives, and provides practical tools to engage in public land advocacy, education, and leadership.

This guide is also available in Spanish.
