I too agree that there appears to be an increase in awareness of environmental issues and concerns. i'm wondering how to broaden that awareness to conservation--the preservation of both cultural and natural resources. the physical environment is key, not doubt. but also crucial are the lifeways, identities, and traditions of a place, especially in rural areas where generations have been tied to the land. since Saving The Sierra is all about bringing folks together into both conversation and action to safegaurd the places they cherish, i'm wondering what suggestions you might have for tapping into new peer to peer networks to bring more young folks into this conservation. thoughts?
