About the Roundtable:

The Roundtable on the Crown of the Continent is a transboundary collaboration that addresses changing land use and climate in one of the largest intact landscapes in North America. It was created to bring all stakeholders in the ecosystem together – First Nations, the working land owners, business leaders, local officials, conservationists, universities and colleges, and the region’s young people.

The Roundtable serves as the connective tissue to assist this diverse network in addressing the challenges of the change we are all experiencing.

Diversity, equity and inclusion are foundational cornerstones of successful work in the region and the Roundtable seeks to provide the space and opportunities to facilitate open discussions around complex management issues. These practices are what have allowed for deep engagement on challenging issues, and has positioned the Roundtable as a leader in collaborative large landscape conservation efforts.

The Roundtable’s Annual Gathering first emerged in 2010 to connect and inspire people throughout the region. The conference is held in alternating quadrants of the landscape, and anyone interested in learning about and shaping the future of the Crown of the Continent is welcome to attend.
