Advancing Forestry & Agriculture
Building Latino Leadership in Stewardship
Hispanic Access cultivates Latino leaders to steward forests and working lands by strengthening connections to land, livelihoods, and community well-being. Through accessible experiences, knowledge-sharing, and leadership development, we equip leaders to advance solutions that support sustainable land management, expand economic opportunity, and strengthen the resilience of both urban and rural communities—protecting the natural systems that sustain food, health, and future generations.
Empowering Change
Healthy forests and working lands sustain communities and livelihoods. When leaders engage, they expand opportunity, protect resources, and help communities thrive.

Forestry, Agriculture & Community Vitality
Catalyzing Latino Leadership into Action
We develop Latino leaders in forestry and agriculture by expanding access to resources, building skills, and creating real-world experiences—from advocacy and policy engagement to hands-on stewardship and storytelling that inspire connection and action.
Forests and working lands shape Latino livelihoods, culture, and community well-being, and communities are essential to their stewardship. Hispanic Access cultivates Latino leaders through trusted networks, equipping them to sustain lands, strengthen local economies, and support healthy communities for future generations.
Why It Matters
Forests and working lands are vital to food systems, economic opportunity, environmental health, and community well-being. Yet many Latino communities face barriers to access, representation, and participation in decisions that shape land use and resource management.
How We Create Change
We invest in leaders and activate networks that connect communities to the systems shaping forestry, agriculture, and land management. Our work bridges local experience with national impact, ensuring Latino voices influence decisions that protect working lands, expand opportunity, and strengthen communities.
Driving Lasting Impact
When Latino leaders are connected to opportunity and influence, communities gain healthier lands, stronger livelihoods, and greater economic opportunity. Together, we are building a more equitable and sustainable nation where forests and working lands support people, communities, and future generations.
