And finally, the final LED post of the year. Another better late than never post 😅
Flagstaff may be a small mountain community, but it's also home to an incredible concentration of scientific research, innovation, and discovery.
During our recent Science in the Community Leadership Education Day, Flagstaff Leadership Program participants had the opportunity to learn from researchers, educators, environmental leaders, archaeologists, public health experts, and community advocates who are making an impact both locally and globally.
From forest restoration and tribal environmental leadership to astronomy, archaeology, public health, and scientific research in the Grand Canyon, the day offered a powerful reminder of the vital role science plays in shaping our communities and informing the decisions that affect our future.
Thank you to our speakers, partners, and hosts at the U.S. Geological Survey for providing an inspiring look at the groundbreaking work happening right here in northern Arizona. U.S. Geological Survey (USGS)
