It prioritizes equity and environmental justice by ensuring fair access to resources and opportunities for all residents, engaging diverse stakeholders, and empowering communities through education. Key priorities include identifying and addressing problem areas, promoting conservation practices, managing financial assistance, fostering a 'culture of conservation' through improved communication, reaching underserved landowners, enhancing stakeholder networking, and advocating for conservation at local and regional levels.
