“The Green Summit is a chance for us all to engage in a discussion about the environment and what to do about it locally – for people and wildlife,” states Alison Kent, Yolo Audubon Society President. “Loss of habitat – whether by urban and rural development and population growth, climate change, water and energy use – will have profound implications for the future of our region."
There are workshops on habitat loss and preservation, climate change and energy, environmental justice, how to communicate in the 21st century, land use planning and transportation, water quality and quantity, and youth and the outdoors.
For those who don’t reside in the Yolo/Sacramento County: While this Green Summit is focused on the Sacramento Valley, there will be much information, and strategies and tools that can help you in your home community to improve our environment.
Martha Guzman-Aceves will be the key-note luncheon speaker. She is the Legislative Advocate for the California Rural Legal Assistance Foundation, Sacramento.

S. in Agricultural and Resource Economics and a B. S. in International Economics.
