One Look Back, Two Steps Forward

You have been busy over the past year.  Multi-agency initiatives have launched, new trails opened, blueprints have been created, and open spaces conserved in perpetuity.  We experienced a big loss in last November's election, but the results weren't all bad.  There are a lot of lessons learned and a lot to celebrate.  At our Fall Gathering on September 15 we will look back at the past year's developments, accomplishments, and more.  We will also get a peek into Sacramento and what we might expect in the months and years ahead.  Speakers include:

• Sam Schuchat, Executive Officer of the State Coastal Conservancy, will share polling results and next steps for the Restoration Authority.
• Amy Hutzel, San Francisco Bay Program of the State Coastal Conservancy, will share stories and a slideshow of lands protected because of their investments.
• Bettina Ring, Ryan Branciforte and Annie Burke, all of the Open Space Council, will share key tools and resources launched over the past year.

If you're wondering if any progress has been made or needing a little inspiration, this is the Gathering for you.  

Program starts at 10am.  Lunch will be served and there will be plenty of time for asking questions, seeing friends and colleagues, and making new connections.
