30x30California: Protecting Diversity, Addressing Climate Change

Learn how you can be part of the state’s ambitious plan to address climate change and protect diversity through California’s ambitious 30x30 initiative at a free program from 7 to 8 p.m. on Tuesday, January 28, at the Burlingame Community Center, 850 Burlingame Ave., Burlingame. There is no charge for admission, but preregistration is requested at https://shorturl.at/rPWHJ.

Presented by the Citizens Environmental Council, the “30x30 California” program will feature organizers of local projects aimed at achieving the initiative’s goal of conserving 30% of California’s lands and coastal waters by 2030. It is part of a worldwide pledge by more than 100 countries started in 2020.

Stu Weiss of Creekside Science, Kellyx Nelson of the San Mateo Resource Conservation District and Liz Chamberlin of Point Blue Conservation Science will describe their efforts to achieve 30x30 goals across public and private lands throughout San Mateo County. Their work in parks, open spaces, farms and ranches spans scientific research, habitat restoration and nature-based solutions to climate change. They will explain how individuals can participate in supporting the initiative’s success.
