Good lord, it’s August 5th already.

This week is the CDFG listening session about water resilience, where they need to hear from smart folk about beavers and why they matter both for water storage, drought and fire resilience AND species habitat protection.

Let me just review my notes.

I have to start working on my presentation for Rossmoor and to top it off they’re paving our street so we can’t park at the house or around the corner for 4 days AND it’s the final week before Jon’s birthday.

There’s so much to do!

WATER RESILIENCE PORTFOLIO INITIATIVE LISTENING SESSION

The Commission is hosting this public listening session to offerstakeholders an opportunity to provide input on what constitutes a “climate resilient water portfolio” for California and, specifically, on water resiliency for fish and wildlife.

State agencies are asking Californians to help shape a roadmap for meeting future water needs and ensuring environmental and economic resilience through the 21st century. Input from the public will help the California Natural Resources Agency, California Environmental Protection Agency, and California Department of Food and Agriculture craft recommendations to fulfill Governor Newsom’sApril29executiveorder, calling for a suite of actions to build a climate-resilient water system and ensure healthy waterways.

Ooh ooh I know! Call on me!

How much do I wish I could be there on capitol hill for this very important meeting with a dozen supporters in the balcony so that when I leap to my feet during audience feedback they all unfurl a huge banner with this emblazened on the front.

For those of us who can’t be there in person, the entire meeting will be live streamed at www.fgc.ca.gov the day of the meeting and they are accepting written feedback.

Submitting Written Materials: The public is encouraged to attend the listening session and engage in the discussion about items on the agenda; the public is also welcome to comment on agenda items in writing.

We have so much homework to do!
