About the Session

When we talk about environmental stewardship, we’re not just talking about nature — we’re also talking about the laws, policies, and community decisions that shape how we care for the land, water, and air around us.

Join Stephanie Sampson from the Lakeland Industry and Community Association (LICA) for an interactive session that connects environmental awareness with the choices we make as individuals and communities.

What You’ll Learn

• A clear and simple definition of environmental stewardship
• Real-life examples of human impact — from shifts in energy use to the story of DDT and the recovery of bald eagles
• How government departments and organizations like the Lakeland Industry and Community Association play different roles in protecting the environment
• The importance of working with Indigenous communities and respecting Traditional Knowledge
• How your own values, interests, and choices can connect to stewardship in your future school, career, and community paths
