Urban Conservation & Urban Agriculture
An agricultural renaissance is happening in unexpected places and unexpected ways. Urban pocket parks and urban farms are helping a new generation of individuals feed, inspire, and provide jobs to their communities. Join us to learn how urban agriculture and urban conservation is helping transform communities in new and positive ways.
Ms. Sholder is a housing, community and economic development specialist. She has over ten years of experience working with individuals and organizations both internationally and domestically to support the creation of equitable, sustainable and inclusive communities. Hannah creates conservation land trusts and community land trusts to remove land from the speculative market and preserve it for affordable housing, community-driven economic development, and urban agriculture. Hannah is a Fulbright Scholar, holds a BA from Wellesley College and has master’s degrees from UC Berkeley. In 2016, Hannah started volunteering with Charles Koiner, and over the course of three years tried to absorb as much of his farming wisdom as possible. In 2018, she co-founded the Charles Koiner Center for Urban Farming (CKC Farming) to share Charlie’s knowledge with the next generation and preserve his farm. Hannah now serves as CKC’s Deputy Director, Interim Farm Manager and Program Director for Land Stewardship.
