This year, the Summit will celebrate the theme, Reconnection: Linking Up with Local Sustainability. This event will engage the community in conversation about local and personal sustainability and will work to connect citizens to local, sustainable resources. Sessions at the event will cover a range of relevant topics, such as local food resources, the connection between people and nature, understanding sustainability from a youth perspective, and much more.

This summit gathers members of the community together to explore innovative approaches to sustainability. Informational sessions and social interactions allow attendees the opportunity to collaborate with experts and join in the opportunity to share their own experiences with sustainability while learning from others.
