Green Fire Cafe

media release: These days, we all need opportunities to unwind and connect. Join us for our new virtual event series, Green Fire Cafe!

Part coffee klatsch, part happy hour, all welcoming, the Green Fire Cafe brings free casual opportunities for the WGF community and beyond to share stories, ask questions, and build connections. WGF leaders like Meleesa Johnson and Paul Heinen will also share policy updates and news about current conservation issues.

Each gathering will follow the same basic structure.

• For the first half, we will focus on sharing stories around that month’s theme, asking questions, and networking to build mutual connections in the conservation community. Depending on the group size, we may split into breakout rooms for smaller-group conversations.
• In the second half, we’ll hear from WGF leaders on policy updates or hot topics in conservation. Then, we will have a more specific Q&A time around conservation policy topics and current focus areas for Wisconsin’s Green Fire.
• We hope you’ll stay for the entire hour each month, but we welcome you to attend as much or as little as best suits you.

We will continue to gather on the first Wednesday of the month for May to December 2025.  All meetings will be via Zoom from 3:00-4:00pm Central Time.
