Please join us for a Sunday afternoon, both in person at Kentucky State University (Kentucky State University campus, 400 East Main St, Frankfort, In Extension building, Room 238) or join us via Zoom. We will also be providing additional online resources to give you all the necessary advocacy tools you need during the 2026 Kentucky General Assembly and beyond.
What you will learn: These sessions will include a broad look at the anticipated topics of the 2026 General Assembly, related federal legislative issues, basic training on ways for citizens to engage as “citizen lobbyists,” plus tips on how to be more effective with your legislative advocacy, both in a virtual world or in person.
We’ll cover a wide range of issues, including:
Community Advocacy - Data Centers
Nature-Based Solutions - Flooding and Disasters
Preview of the State Budget
Investments in Land Conservation
Updates on Nuclear Energy - Solution or Distraction?
and more. See the full schedule at kyconservation.org/legislative-summit-2026.

Get an overview of bills that are already filed in the General Assembly, or anticipated to be filed, along with KCC’s analysis and recommendations for action.
In addition, we’ll review federal initiatives that are ripe for local action, as well as emerging conservation issues in Kentucky.
Sessions will include additional online toolkits and opportunities to speak directly with lawmakers and issue experts on a range of conservation topics.
These informative sessions will be free and open to the public. We always appreciate donations at kyconservation.org/donate to support our continuing work. (Note: Donations to the Kentucky Conservation Committee are not tax-deductible due to our effective lobbying efforts).
