Understanding Rural Attitudes Toward the Environment and Conservation in America

Wednesday, June 3rd at 10AM

In February 2020, the Nicholas Institute for Environmental Policy Solutions at Duke University released the report "Understanding Rural Attitudes Toward the Environment and Conservation in America."  The report studied why rural voters and their representatives often oppose environmental regulations; what accounts for the apparent rural/urban divide on attitudes toward environmental policy; and are there alternative policies, communications strategies, or ways to engage rural voters and constituencies that might bridge the urban/rural dive on the environment.  We will be joined by Robert Bonnie, lead author of the report, to learn more about the report, his findings, and discuss the relevance to our work in the Chesapeake. This program will be open to funders and NGO partners.  We encourage you to read the report in advance of the program. 

Speaker: Robert Bonnie, Nicholas Institute for Environmental Policy Solutions at Duke University
