New Groundwater Agencies Host Community Workshops on Short-term Funding Options
The purpose of the workshops is to solicit feedback on possible options for funding the day-to-day expenses of the GSAs and the creation of extensive, science-based technical Groundwater Sustainability Plans (GSPs) for the Sonoma Valley, Santa Rosa Plain and Petaluma Valley groundwater basins. In February, the California Department of Water Resources (the primary state agency responsible for administering SGMA) posted a preliminary list of GSAs eligible to receive grant funding for GSP development. All three local GSAs were recommended to receive $1 million each. While these grants will significantly offset costs of creating GSPs, additional gap funding will be needed.
WORKSHOP INFORMATION
Sonoma Valley Workshop
5:30-7:30 p.m., Wednesday, March 14
Sonoma Veterans Memorial Building, 126 1st St W, Sonoma
Santa Rosa Plain Workshop
5:30-7:30, Wednesday, March 21
Finley Community Center, 2060 W College Ave, Santa Rosa
Petaluma Valley Workshop

While workshop formats will be similar in each groundwater basin, some content will be specific to that basin. People needing accommodations should contact ann.dubay@scwa.ca.gov or call 524-8378 as soon as possible.

Applications are now being Accepted for TeenNat
Pepperwood's Award-Winning Youth Summer Conservation Science Internship
While some teens will be spending their summer days staring at screens, young people at Pepperwood will have fun witnessing how our forests and grasslands, ponds and chaparral are resilient and recovering from the Tubbs Fire. Pepperwood's conservation science internship "
TeenNat" is returning for its 6
th
year and applications are now being accepted. TeenNat will run
Tuesdays through Thursdays
from
July 10th through August 9th, 2018.
There is no charge for the internship but the application process is competitive and
participants ages 13-18 must apply by April 9th, 2018
.
Find our bilingual program fliers and applications at:
TeenNat engages diverse youth in real research, connects them with scientists and other professionals, provides them with technical skills in data collection and photography, and exposes them to nature. Interns are trained to use GPS units and digital cameras to document plants and animals found at Pepperwood (and after the program they get to keep their digital cameras in exchange for their service!). They upload their findings to iNaturalist.org, a global network for biological data used by researchers around the world. TeenNat interns have uploaded over 3,000 observations to date.
TeenNat directly connects young people with nature in ways that expand their horizons as a 2017 participant shared, "I lost my fear for bugs. Before the internship the sight of a bug would send me running across the room. After seeing the beauty of a life form in its natural habitat I became considerate of the lives around me. I became more observant. Although I must admit at times it takes me a bit of courage to hold a praying mantis. I enjoy the adventurous hikes. The memories of the preserve will be treasured. The hikes and reflections opened a door within my mind. I enjoyed this internship and will miss the friends I made. Thank you for accepting me in this program and welcoming me into the TeenNat family."
Interns learn about career pathways in the sciences as they interact with researchers and conservation professionals. They even get to participate in environmental career day. "This internship has made me consider going into the environmental conservation sciences," said TeenNat alumni Maddi Blanc, "and I look forward to what I can contribute to the scientific world in the future." She is now pursuing a science degree at UC Davis.
TeenNat received national recognition through the Toyota TogetherGreen Fellowship awarded to Pepperwood Education Director Sandi Funke for her work designing the program. TeenNat has also been showcased by the North American Association for Environmental Education at their international conference. TeenNat is supported by grants from the Community Foundation Sonoma County, Save the Redwoods League, Dean Witter Foundation, Miranda Lux Foundation, and through donors and members of Pepperwood.

CASA is experiencing one of the
largest numbers of referrals in 20 years, of abused and neglected children who are entering the child welfare system afraid and alone. CASA is seeking volunteers today.
CASA has over
60 youth awaiting your friendship and advocacy, which can bring a life changing relationship to them, and the list continues to grow. As little as 10 hours a month can make a child's life brighter. Our Spring training begins April 19th. Visitwww.sonomacasa.org or call us at 565-6375.
