We’re all rightfully concerned about climate change and global warming, and most of us are taking actions on a daily basis to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions in our lives; actions like driving less and moving towards electrification of our lives with the electricity generated by renewable sources like wind and solar.
For many years CIR has contemplated forming a docent program at the San Marcos Foothills to help share these stories. Nearly a decade in the making, the San Marcos Foothills Educational Docent Program will now provide opportunities for those who love nature to pass on mind-blowing environmental principles to their friends and neighbors who visit the Preserve. It will also provide the opportunity to learn from Chumash people about their traditions and connections to the land.
What’s CIR doing that I can actually see? (Or, thanks Doug, this is a great place for a date!) A lot! CIR has gotten a reputation of working in places most people don’t regularly get to, we’re sort of like ‘Restoration Hotshots’. We are usually working so far off the beaten path that it takes some logistical effort to see us in action. Well, that is no longer the case in Santa Barbara at Elings Park!
