Climate change is outpacing our fragmented systems. We believe that facing today’s complex challenges is only possible when we build multi-generational relationships capable of interconnected decision-making with a whole watershed view. Our work consists of:
Hosting Place-Based Forest Gatherings
Building a Network of Watershed Stewards
Advancing Watershed Policy
