New Conservation: Challenging Orthodoxy

Wednesday, May 27, 2020 — 7:30 pm

Speaker: Mike Moran
Online presentation

The Bay Area is graced with many conservation innovations and successes spanning the past century. Let’s look forward by examining and challenging some of our conservation orthodoxies to see how, and if, they still apply. We’ll look at things like vegetation management, park design, water policy, endangered species, demographic shifts, climate change. Let’s explore challenging topics, stretch understanding, and hopefully unveil common approaches to future innovations and successes.

Mike Moran is the supervising naturalist at Big Break Regional Shoreline on the Delta in Oakley. He has been a naturalist with the East Bay Regional Park District since 1994, interpreting the Delta and many other aspects of natural history as well as assisting in the development of the Big Break Visitor Center. His areas of special interest are California water, birds, and local history.

Our CNPS East Bay speaker programs will be presented as online meetings until it is once again safe to gather in person.
