It's Never Been More Important To Support Environmental Journalism
 There is no more important time to support robust environmental journalism than now. And there’s no better way than by contributing to the Society of Environmental Journalists (SEJ), the world's largest organization of environmental journalists, with membership now at an all-time high. You can be a part of it. I’m Meera Subramanian, newly elected president of SEJ, an organization I credit with building my foundation as a freelance journalist, as it has supported journalists and journalism for thirty years.

SEJ's 30th Annual Conference
Boise, Idaho || Sept. 23-27, 2020
Save the date! Environmental Journalism 2020 will be hosted by Boise State University in Boise, Idaho. Idaho bridges more than the continental divide: A red state with a streak of bright purple, Idaho banks on tech, recreation and agriculture. Its history of logging, ranching and mining has left a complicated legacy on its awe-inspiring landscape. In Boise, America’s fastest growing city, you can ski and golf on the same winter day. But the challenges and opportunities facing state and tribal governments are familiar: urban sprawl, limited resources, energy sources, and conserving the wild for future generations.
