Lunchtime Think-In: How can we realize the legacy field we envision?

Building on the previous day’s reflections, this lunchtime session invites participants to move from imagining what a robust legacy stewardship field could look like, to exploring how it might be realized. Around shared tables and a communal meal, participants will engage in focused dialogue on implementation—identifying potential strategies, partnerships, and models that could bring this vision to life.

Through guided prompts, each group will consider what it takes to translate aspiration into infrastructure: What collaborations could catalyze change? What lessons can be drawn from other sectors? What forms of advocacy are needed to shift systems and secure lasting support? Notes from each conversation will be gathered and synthesized to inform collective next steps, ensuring that the insights generated here continue to shape the evolving field.
