Spanish Happy Hour with Defensores de la Cuenca

On February 25th, IAN hosted Defensores de la Cuenca for a Spanish Happy Hour. Defensores de la Cuenca (Watershed Defenders) is a non-profit focused on connecting Latin@/e communities across the Chesapeake Bay watershed to nature and empowering them to be good environmental stewards through family-friendly events and programs. We had the opportunity to meet some members of their team, learn about their programs, and learn some common environmental terms in Spanish through a fun game. We also discussed strategies and barriers related to community engagement, which provided valuable insights for IAN’s work.
