The CEDAR Gallery creates spaces for students to reckon with anxieties that come with learning about the state of our planet and its environmental inequalities and process feelings about how the climate crisis negatively impacts daily life. Through on-site exhibits, events, and a digital gallery, the CEDAR Gallery seeks in part to provide students with the space, tools, and experiences to combat climate anxiety. Dr. Porter will be joined by Khushi Desai (they/them), a student contributor to the CEDAR Gallery. https://actionnetwork.org/events/conservation-cafe-september2026
