Hike the marsh! |
CGF Forum set
for Thursday, August 15 The public is invited to an environmental forum
to discuss the fate of Pescadero Marsh. The forum will focus on the tension
between the need to address flooding problems on private property adjacent
to the marsh, which often result in closure of Pescadero Road, and the
importance
of finding sustainable solutions that protect the marsh's diverse
species. Why is the marsh an important and unique natural resource? What is the hydrology of the marsh? Why is it important to use a "watershed approach" when addressing community concerns? What lessons can be learned from the Napa County "Living River" program? Leading experts will consider these questions and more, with San Mateo County Supervisor Richard Gordon serving as moderator. Speakers include Tamara Clinard of the Coastal Watershed Council, Joanne Kerbavaz from California State Parks, Maeva Neale of the Pescadero Municipal Advisory Council, Napa County Supervisor Mike Rippey, hydrologist Barry Hecht, biology Professor Mike Vasey from San Francisco State University, and Committee for Green Foothills Advocate Lennie Roberts. The forum will be held on Thursday, August 15 from 7-9 pm in the South Conference Room of the Miramar Lodge, 2930 North Cabrillo Highway, Half Moon Bay. The event is free and open to the public. No reservations are required. Snacks will be provided. This forum is the second in a series of environmental
forums organized by Committee for Green Foothills and made possible in
part to support from the Community
Foundation Silicon Valley (CFSV). Page last updated August 12, 2002 . |
