This week on Bend Don’t Break, host Aaron Switzer sits down with Lace Thornberg, Communications Director at Central Oregon LandWatch. Lace shares how her journey through conservation organizations across the West eventually led her to Bend, where she now channels her passion for land use, public lands, and ensuring equitable access to nature. Lace also highlights Central Oregon LandWatch’s Livable Future Forum—a dynamic lecture and community conversation series designed to spark dialogue around what it takes to create a just, sustainable, and ecologically vibrant future. Upcoming forums will feature voices like National Park Service Director Chuck Sams, author Michelle Nijhuis, and National Geographic Explorer Kiliii Yüyan.
