Professional social media usually entails trendy buzz words— trends— self-promotion to be recognized. Bucking that trend, I find it is better to speak from the heart. Yesterday, my colleagues from California tribes and Delta environmental justice communities showed the depth of their understanding of California water. History, culture, law, statistics, fishery science, water quality data, HABs science, and interdisciplinary work between water and pollution science studies. They are my heart. They are the future of California water management. They are leaders with a true moral center working for the greater good of all Californians. I am so proud to have the chance to work with them all. Not in order on the photo or all present: Vice Chair Malissa Tayaba, Gary Mulcahy, Krystal Moreno, Ivan Sennock, Sherri Norris, Zach Giggone, Spencer Fern, Cintia Cortez, Gloria Alonso Cruz, James Sarmento, Emily and Michelle, the home team on social media at RTD, and Tama Brisbane. All power and joy for the real greater good.

During my run yesterday, I was reflecting on last week's Conservation Land Foundation's Friends Summit. This wasn't merely an event; it was a reunion of passionate leaders united by a cause that stretches far beyond the confines of conference rooms and PowerPoint presentations. At its core, it's a celebration of what happens when we dare to imagine—and strive for—a world where nature isn’t just a backdrop to our daily lives but a vital, thriving part of it. “Protect What Matters”. Honestly, could there be a more timely call to arms? To protect what matters, we need all hands on deck — from policymakers to grassroots activists, from corporations to individual citizens. The path ahead is as daunting as it is necessary, but together, there’s no challenge we can’t overcome. Here’s to the next chapter in our journey. May it be one of bold actions, deeper connections, and unwavering dedication to the cause that has brought us together. Let’s keep the conversation going, lean into the discomfort, and, most importantly, never lose sight of the fact that we’re fighting not just for the world as it is, but for the world as it could be. #ConservationLandsFoundation

Grab your headphones 🎧 A new episode of #TheClearCut is out NOW! In the second part of our conversation with Wildlands’ own, Anna Baggio, we dive deeper into the state of caribou conservation policy. 🚧 If the Ontario government won’t protect caribou ranges from the looming encroachment of industry, who will? 🏢 What’s the role of the federal government, and what has been done so far? All this, and more: https://lnkd.in/dV-4S8yQ
