<span class="x_x_Apple-converted-space"></span>episode of "Where Women Choose to Walk: Paths to Improving Cities and Nature". The audience, panelists and hosts grappled not just with the definition of Stewardship but with what the act of engaging in care of
the natural world means for women, communities, and the world at large. From Aceh to Toronto to New York City, the narratives shared by guest speakers on the struggles and successes as well as the literature around this topic resonated with our participants. <span class="x_x_Apple-converted-space"> </span></font></div>

engagement and mobilization of citizens, stewardship as paid vs. unpaid work, and as an accessible form of civic engagement. Panelists shared their knowledge and inspirations for engaging in urban green stewardship in research, tree climbing and community
building.
