The mission of Salmonid Restoration Federation (SRF) is to promote restoration and stewardship of California’s native salmon, steelhead, and trout populations and their habitat.To accomplish our mission, we have been working since 1986 to advance the art and science of habitat restoration for California’s precious salmonid species. We provide crucial educational services for landowners, community-based restoration organizations, consultancies, and state and federal agencies in the following key ways:Producing the annual Salmonid Restoration Conference: The largest event of its kind on the West Coast, this conference features workshops, field tours, and coordinated sessions covering the most up-to-date technical, biological, cultural, and policy-related topics of concern for people engaged in salmonid restoration.Coordinating annual field schools and workshops: Each year, SRF hosts several statewide technical field schools and professional workshops that provide scientists, engineers, and the general public with an opportunity to collaborate with and learn from some of the leading restorationists on the West Coast.Spearheading local opportunities for community engagement: In Humboldt County—a region critical to the recovery of California’s endangered Coho salmon and where our office is based—we have been actively engaged in local efforts to address low summer water flows on the South Fork of the Eel River.Participating in the development of state and federal salmonid fishery restorations plans, objectives, and policies: We advocate for changes in key government policies and regulations that hinder or obstruct the restoration of California's salmonid fisheries, including the protection of existing funding and the development of additional funding for the California Department of Fish & Wildlife’s salmon, steelhead, and trout restoration programs and grants.

The Tomales Bay Watershed Council (TBWC) was formed in 1999 by the region’s stakeholders with an interest in improving the watershed’s vital natural resources. The TBWC includes representatives from local, state and federal agencies, environmental organizations, citizen and residential groups, agricultural and shellfish industries, recreational interests and individual residents.http://www.tomalesbaywatershed.org/

Additional subcommittees I am on:-Fundraising-Education/Outreachhttp://www.amazonmycorenewal.org/ CoRenewal strives to fulfill its mission by assembling a team of experts in community development and bioremediation, the nature-based solutions to human caused pollution. These experts work closely with communities and local government to design, implement, and monitor sustainable projects. We empower communities with educational workshops. We facilitate partnerships between diverse groups, and support self-organization so that communities can implement their own solutions that will bring local economic, social and health benefits. Our work in the Sucumbios region of Ecuador is focused on research of effective, ecological and affordable methods of bioremediation of oil-contaminated soils, and sustainable mushroom cultivation.Among CoRenewal’s strengths are its dedicated team of volunteers. We have had over 86 people from 10 counties participate in our activities. These include scientists who have extensive knowledge of nature-based remediation technologies and their manufacturers, as well as an on-the-ground outreach team. Major Accomplishments to Date: · Environmental Remediation: Implementation of bioremediation technology to reduce pollution in runoff from a municipal landfill· Research: Cultivation of edible and wild mushroom species in a local climate; Feasibility assessments of bioremediation technology implementation on a community scale· Education: Public and private workshops on mushroom cultivation, natural water filtration methods, bioremediation of contaminated soils using bacteria, fungi and plants, municipal waste treatment biotechnologiesAmong CoRenewal’s allies are municipalities, universities, small businesses and nonprofit organizations and have collaborated with:· Domestic and international universities· Local municipalities and communities· Businesses and Nonprofit organizations

The Mendocino-Tahoe Conservancy's purpose is to engage people in the conservation, stewardship, and enjoyment of our state's rich ecological, historical, cultural, and economic resources.To accomplish this mission, we work closely with community-based partner organizations to:• Preserve, restore, and steward a "necklace" of publicly accessible, protected natural areas and historical sites in a Heritage Corridor Network across California, through fee-title ownership, conservation easements, public lands advocacy, and community stewardship alliances.• Create and maintain a Cross-California hiking trail that would link these sites in a contiguous route from the Pacific coast to beyond the Sierra crest and encourage local community-based travel and human-powered recreation and transportation.• Lead educational programs and develop and distribute educational materials that advance a strong conservation ethic for California's ecological, historical, and cultural heritage.• Promote tourism-related and other economic benefits of the Heritage Corridor Network, Cross-California Trail, and resource conservation/stewardship.

Cared for and medicated a plethora of animals from dogs and cats to wild boars, hogs and goats. I was in charge of interviewing, hiring and training new staff working hands-on with the animals.
