Once more into the breech dear friends! I will be talking with Dave Egbert about the Martinez Beavers, Worth A Dam and the stewardship on monday morning at 8 am. He assures me this interview will have fewer commercials and no council members. We’ll see if I can manage to talk about beavers for another hour of my life. (What are the odds?) I’m not familiar with the station, but it says its “all positive” talk radio. Do you think that means they’ll edit out all of the horrible things the city has done so far? In case you want to listen or call in and ask friendly questions that remind me to say things I forgot to mention, here’s the information. If you aren’t around at 8, the interview will be archived at this address, so you can listen anyway.
If you are interested in green living and sustainability this show will give you practical ideas and ways to live and be green while helping the planet…
Speak to Dave: Call in between 8-9 am PT, 3rd Monday every month at 800-555-5453 or 310-371-5444 or Twitter or Email Dave at dave@daveegbert.com during his show.
Meanwhile, go check out some smart writing from our friend Scott Artis of JournOwl who had a guest column published in the Contra Costa Times. He uses some nicely tailored language to link the plight of those little burrowing owls to our current housing market.
In a rather dreary economic mess, a bright light had emerged in the form of a pseudo-wildlife refuge with a handful of owls taking center stage. That was until the fence, so often the culprit in habitat fragmentation and biodiversity loss, vanished. As the property exchanged hands from one builder to another, the once-protected habitat was now open to the public and the burrowing owls that stood watch in the middle of the streets were now dodging cars, off-roading vehicles and piles of garbage.
Great writing, and excellent use of media to raise awareness for these feathered phantoms. Some one needs to nominate this young man for the JMA conservation awards. (Someone who isn’t on the board, that is….)
