Please help us welcome Gilberto Ramirez to LandPaths as our new Bilingual Outings Field Specialist! In this position, Gilberto joins the New Audiences team (Danny, Nancy, and Jonathan) and will lead engaging outings to LandPaths' preserves and partner properties in both English and Spanish, plus many more activities! He is a migrant, first generation, Chicanx scholar, community organizer, activist, and ally to many. As far as Gilberto can remember he has been very curious about, well, everything. He has always felt the need to explore nature, new places, but more importantly learn about different people, their cultures, customs, struggles and their resiliency. Which, in part, is why he became so invested in LandPaths. Some of his hobbies include hiking, kayaking, photography and writing poetry. Please give Gilberto a warm welcome when you see him in the field!

Less than two days left until the Harvest Festival! More info about the day here >>> https://lnkd.in/g4frkvMw

Please join us in celebrating Jonathan Bravo's 14th anniversary at LandPaths! Jonathan goes way beyond his title of Senior Bilingual Garden Specialist. He is beloved at Bayer Farm for his unique ability to connect people from all walks of life to the world of the garden and his tireless committment to building community. If we tried to write down everything Jonathan has accomplished over the last 14 years at LandPaths, you'd be reading this post for weeks! Thank you Jonathan, for all you've done at LandPaths' community gardens and your amazing ability to foster a love of the land amongst people of all ages. Feel free to share your favorite Jonathan memory in the comments! And come by the Harvest Festival from 10am - 2pm this Saturday to wish him a Happy Anniversary in person!

Please join us in celebrating Jessica Holloway's 12th anniversary at LandPaths! In her 12 years at the organization, Jessica's ability to foster a love of the land in Sonoma County, especially amongst youth, is incomparable. She's good at so many things - it's hard to begin to list them all, though we have to start with her passion and knowledge of the world of fungi. And, TBH, if we took a vote at LandPaths of the fellow staffer we'd most want to get lost in the forest with, she'd be the number one pick because her deep connection and relationship with the land would keep us alive! From Owl Camp to Young Stewards to the Safety Committee, Jessica brings a spirit of rigorous kindness and inquiry to every program she works with at the organization. Thank you, Jess!!
