As America 250 celebrations continue across the country, many stories of the American West remain overlooked. This webinar explores the 1776 Domínguez-Escalante Expedition and how its journey through today's public lands across Colorado, Utah, Arizona, and New Mexico offers important perspectives on conservation, cultural heritage, water, and stewardship that continue to shape the Southwest today.

HECHO HCLC members Eric Carpio and Dr. Nick Saenz will share historical insights while connecting the expedition to today's conservation priorities and the enduring contributions of Hispanic and Indigenous communities to the landscapes we know today.
