About two years ago, I shared a list of important Spanish and English words related to wildfire safety. After working on several projects about wildfire prevention and forest health, I developed several go-to vocabulary lists for myself. (In fancy translator lingo, we call this “terminology management:” basically, long lists of words we don’t want to forget we’ve used before in order to maintain consistency.)
Here is a short list of 15 common terms I use time and again in projects related to land conservation. These words are used in communications about land trusts, land stewardship, forest management, community green spaces, regional parks…and much more. It was tough to choose only 15 words to share, but I had to give myself a limit! If you work or volunteer for an environmental organization and are curious about a Spanish or English word related to your work, reach out.
