• Thu, May 17, 12:00 noon to 1:30 PM
• Water Resources Research Center (WRRC) Sol Resnick Conference Room, 350 N. Campbell Avenue
• Tony Sedgwic, landowner and 2012 recipient of the National Wetlands Award for Landowner Stewardship, and President of Santa Fe Ranch (Rancho Santa Fe), a nonprofit foundation providing out of doors opportunities for the people of Santa Cruz County
• Sedgwic will talk on Las Lagunas de Anza:  The story of the transformation of a dump into lovely wetlands in the City of Nogales, Arizona.
• In a poor and seemingly hopeless community, Las Lagunas de Anza is the story of hope, of high school kids laughing and wading in murky waters, of Anglos and Hispanics joining forces, having fun while they restore pride and the vulnerable wetlands in the heart of their city.
• The future of our desert ecologies lies in the often indifferent hands of our electorate and of economic “realities”, read sustainability. This project, and the theme of the presentation, is about how we can bring together coalitions that provide a hope of conservation and of educating the generations of tomorrow.
