Water & the Environment

Water issues and environmental justice are cornerstones of equity and community health in our region, as well as long-time points of racial contention. Historically, influence shaping public policy in Humboldt and Del Norte Counties was closely connected to large resource extraction industries, which in turn were facilitated by the genocide and displacement of indigenous people. Our vision for positive change in this region involves responsible stewardship of the land that we call home and the water that gives us life.
