The WEN Board is working hard to increase the visibility of and communication opportunities among our community of environmental professionals. We could use some additional assistance in these key areas:
Sustainable Fairfax Sustainable Fairfax is coming out of its chrysalis. In an effort to be more effective, we’ve spent the last two years refining our vision and recreating our organization. Due to this commitment we scaled back our projects and remained focused on a subset including local energy issues, local candidate surveys and lending our support to local ordinances. Armed with new skills and vision we are committed to do our part in guiding Fairfax toward a sustainable future that benefits our economy, environment and community. As one of the first groups in Marin to pioneer sustainability, Sustainable Fairfax has a legacy of educating the town council, supporting the community, providing services to the town, and conducting educational events since 1999. Through our work, we’ve come to realize that sustainability is not just an end goal, but also an approach to decision making. Now it’s time to reaffirm our mission and build Sustainable Fairfax in a sustainable way.
This year the board has been meeting with our new Executive Director, Pam Hartwell-Herrero, to iron out our new model that blends education and community action. Here are some ways to get involved:
Seaflow Seaflow is a local environmental group which works wholeheartedly on protecting ocean life from dangerous human-generated noise. We have many opportunities for ocean lovers and activists to volunteer with us, as we create innovative educational campaigns to protect whales and dolphins. Our enthusiastic staff and volunteers would love to meet you and to help you find a way to protect the web of life. For more information: call 415-229-9366 or visit our website. Friends of Sausal Creek Friends of Sausal Creek needs volunteer docents for its environmental education program. You'll work from 9am - 12 noon on Wednesdays during the school year at the Native Plant Nursery in Oakland's Joaquin Miller Park.

SPAWN's Water Quality Testing Program The Salmon Protection and Watershed Network (SPAWN) has resumed their Water Quality Monitoring in Marin's Lagunitas Watershed. This program is funded through a grant from the Regional Water Quality Control Board 319h program and will continue for two years. The program will test for: Fecal Coliforms, Nitrates + Nitrites, Orthophosphates in winter and summer and PH, Conductivity, Dissolved Oxygen and Temperature year round. (They intend to add more testing parameters and sites as more funding is secured.) If you are interested in participating in this program, please email them. SPAWN is a non-profit organization dedicated to protecting threatened coho salmon and steelhead trout and the environment on which we all depend. The protection of these keystone species leads to the protection of all wildlife of our community, and indeed the protection of ourselves and the land on which we live. |
