Every Wednesday we find stories about land conservation and we share them here. Sometimes the links aren't about land conservation and that's fine too.
Join us on September 20 from 10am-1pm at the San Pedro Square Market in downtown San Jose for our Fall Gathering! We'll be talking about sustainable agriculture in Santa Clara, San Mateo and Santa Cruz counties. More information about it, including who our distinguished panelists are, can be found over here.
