Board Spotlight - Samantha Krop Samantha Krop is a part of WakeUP’s newest board cohort. She has her BA from the University of Central Florida and a Masters degree in Education and Curriculum Development from University of Oregon. She brings environmental advocacy and coalition-building experience from her role as Neuse Riverkeeper and her previous experience as an environmental justice educator at the high school and university levels. We are so excited for her energy and advocacy and look forward to her leadership on our board! When you aren't working or volunteering, what do you enjoy doing? Enjoying time outdoors with my pup. We're typically found exploring forested trails or paddling on the river. I love poetry and creative writing, making pies and being active. Why is WakeUP's work important for the Triangle? As Wake County grows, responsible, green growth is a top priority. WakeUp promotes shared values like small area planning, affordable housing and transit districts that, when applied, create more livable, vibrant communities. What makes you most excited about being on WakeUP's board? The opportunity to work more closely with others who value responsible development, and to leverage our collective times and energy to promote the kind of Wake County we want to see. What are Wake County's biggest opportunities/advantages when it comes to growth? Opportunities are around promoting density and infill growth while opposing gentrification and shortsighted sprawl. What ways do you hope to inspire Wake County residents to be engaged in our future? I hope to inspire folks to become more engaged in city planning and rezoning proposals--to track land use changes and engage in civic opportunities where it affects them! What does a typical weekend look like for you? Walking my dog around Lake Johnson, reading, cooking for a local food-share, paddling on the river, taking it slow! #wakeupwakecounty #boardspotlight #wakecounty #thrivingcommunities #beapartofthesolution #sustainablegrowth #urbandevelopment #growwithus #climatechange #landuse #affordablehousing #equity #environment

Our approach to community engagement and giving back includes various strategies. For example: 1. **Community Outreach Programs:** We support local initiatives and events to foster community spirit and cohesion. 2.Environmental Stewardship:** We engage in activities that promote sustainability and environmental conservation within the community. 3.Economic Development:** We support local businesses by sourcing materials and services locally whenever possible and creating job opportunities through our projects.

My reflection on year one of my heritage-focused public engagement project with Ralph Wilson Park Conservancy is up! To end the year, I dove into the purpose of this project, the value of using the lens of heritage, and the challenges to a three time frame approach where past, present, and future can create synergy around a community space. https://lnkd.in/gMnCYX-4

BOARD SPOTLIGHT: Adam Terando Adam Terando has been a leader with WakeUP for many years and is our current Board Chair. In his day job, Adam is a Climate Scientist who has called Wake County home for almost 2 decades. His work with WakeUP provides data-oriented correlations between how communities engage land use, transportation, and housing planning impact the long term vitality of both the residents and the environment. His expertise has been crucial in helping make these connections for policy-makers and Wake County residents alike. Where did you go to school? What did you study? Well I went to three different schools for my BA (Illinois), MS (Delaware), and PhD (Penn State). At all schools my degrees are in Geography with a focus on climatology. Why is WakeUP's work important for the Triangle? We have gotten sucked into a residential development pattern that is probably the worst one that could be designed if one cares about the health of the environment, the climate, and social equity. WakeUP is the only organization in Wake County (and one of the few in the region or the state) that clearly articulates the tradeoffs associated with how our region has typically grown and works to offer alternatives that improve the quality of life for all people. When you aren't working (or volunteering for WakeUP!) what do you enjoy doing? I really enjoy living in downtown Raleigh and all the amenities that it has to offer just by walking to them! If you're downtown, you might see me walking around the warehouse district and stopping into Weaver Street, or just enjoying walking around some of the beautiful neighborhoods near downtown like Oakwood or Boylan Heights. What makes you hopeful about Wake County in the future? People care about the region and also how what we do here has effects on the wider world."

As we celebrate five years of partnership with California State Parks this year, we have been reflecting on what has been achieved, thanks to the collaboration from our partners and supporters – from over a hundred nonprofit and community organizations to climate scientists to tribal leaders to equity champions to our generous funders and all of YOU! We would not be where we are today without this community. We’re excited to announce a new report, Leading Together: A New Model for Thriving State Parks, examining Parks California’s unique statutory partnership model and providing guidance to other park systems that want to establish a similar partnership. Potrero Group—a consulting firm with expertise in public lands—put this report together to help us share what we’ve learned from our first five years with California State Parks. We believe that collaboration and partnership is the key to addressing major issues, like climate change and inequality, and we hope that our experience helps parks everywhere to thrive.
