Silicon Valley Adventures: Flying over Atherton, California. We flew over Atherton, California, parallel to Greco Island and the connected Bedwell Bayfront Park on the far right in the San Francisco Bay. 
Atherton in San Francisco Bay Area, is a small, affluent town in San Mateo County, part of the San Francisco Bay Area. Its history dates back to the 1860s when Faxon D. Atherton, a prominent landowner, businessman, and namesake of the town, purchased the area known today as Atherton. Originally a part of the Rancho de las Pulgas, the town was primarily an area for the wealthy to build their country homes and summer retreats. Atherton was officially incorporated in 1923, maintaining its status as a residential community with a strong commitment to preserving its wooded character and rural feel. One of Atherton's most interesting aspects is its strict zoning laws, designed to maintain large lots and a park-like atmosphere, prohibiting commercial activities within the town limits. Nearby Greco Island, part of the San Francisco Bay National Wildlife Refuge, is a lesser-known but ecologically significant area. This small island, named after a former owner, is inaccessible to the public to protect its delicate ecosystem. It's a vital habitat for various bird species, including the endangered California clapper rail and the salt marsh harvest mouse. Greco Island's marshlands play a crucial role in the Bay's ecology, acting as a natural buffer against flooding and serving as a key breeding ground for marine life. The conservation efforts on Greco Island highlight the balance between urban development and natural preservation, a theme that resonates strongly in the Bay Area's environmental policies.

🏔️❄️ Partner Spotlight: The North Face, a VF Company ❄️🏔️   In the realm of advocacy and environmental stewardship, November shines a spotlight on a remarkable partner—The North Face, a VF Company. Our collaboration extends far beyond shared values; it's a testament to a decade-long commitment to creating a more sustainable and resilient future.   🌍 Common Grounds and Shared Passions: At a glance, our connection with The North Face is rooted in a shared love for the great outdoors. However, the synergy goes deeper, resonating from Capitol Hill to the pristine landscapes of the Arctic Refuge. Together, we've championed the cause for environmental preservation, dedicating our efforts to protect and sustain the places we hold dear.   👊 Advocacy in Action: Protecting the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge This year marked a pivotal moment in our shared journey—the protection of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. Thanks to the tireless efforts of The North Face, our collective Alliance Members, and passionate advocates, the Biden Administration announced crucial safeguards for this unique ecosystem. It's a testament to the impactful advocacy work we've achieved together.   🌟 Milestones Celebrated, Futures Shaped: The announcement wasn't just about policy; it was a celebration of the culmination of years of dedicated work. The North Face and POW (Protect Our Winters) stood side by side in the pursuit of a sustainable, resilient future. As we spotlight The North Face as our Partner in Advocacy for November, we honor not just the achievement but the journey that led us here.   💚 Join the Movement: The North Face's commitment to advocacy aligns seamlessly with POW's vision. As individuals and outdoor enthusiasts, we're not just witnessing change; we're actively driving it. November isn't just a month; it's a reminder of what's possible when passion meets purpose.   🏞️ Embrace the Outdoors, Advocate for Change: Let's continue the journey of advocacy, sustainability, and environmental protection. Join The North Face and POW in making every month an opportunity to shape a world where our love for the outdoors is matched by our commitment to its preservation. Together, we're not just partners; we're advocates shaping a future we can all be proud of. 🌲❤️ #TheNorthFaceAdvocacy #POWPartnership #SustainableFuture #ProtectOurOutdoors #AdvocacyInAction #ClimateActionNow

The Eastern Quoll, known as 'Baalijin' (Bellingen) in Gumbaynggirr holds profound significance in our Dreaming stories. As integral characters in our narratives, the quolls embody our connection to the land, serving as symbols of balance, resilience, and the delicate harmony of nature. Their presence in our stories reflects our deep respect for the natural world and our understanding of the interconnectedness of all living beings. The decline of the Eastern Quoll on the mainland represents a loss not only of a species but also of a vital part of our language and culture. By reintroducing or rewilding the Eastern Quoll back into Gumbaynggir country in the future, we are not only restoring ecological balance, but also reclaiming our stories and dreaming. It is an opportunity to honor our ancestors, preserve traditional knowledge, and strengthen our bond with Country. Through these efforts, we can ensure that future generations inherit a landscape rich in biodiversity and cultural significance, where the echoes of our Dreaming stories resonate once again. The return of the Eastern Quoll to Gumbaynggir country would not just be a conservation initiative; it is a reaffirmation of our identity, values, and commitment and custodianship of Country.

I am excited to see SINTEF Ocean and the CLIMAREST project taking on the problem of pharmaceutical pollution, especially in the High North ❄️🚽 A couple of years ago my colleague and the coordinator of Climarest, Ida Beathe Øverjordet lead the PharmArctic project. 🌊They found 📈High levels of Ibuprofen and Antidepressants, among other medicines 💊 in native marine species to Svalbard 🦀🦭 Together, we published a study on potential mechanisms to mitigate this pollution. Check out our study here 👇🏼 https://lnkd.in/dhZsJpnR ✍️Through a workshop and semi-structured interviews, we identified key factors: 🔹 Lack of fines or enforcement of current pollution regulations 🔹 High costs associated with upgrading Arctic infrastructure, such as wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) 🔹 Strong need for increased awareness of the issue Excited to see the continued progress in this important field in CLIMAREST! ☃️ The University Centre in Svalbard Framsenteret ECOPs Network European Marine Board European Commission Norwegian Environment Agency Norges forskningsråd

Our Who I Am Foundation volunteers in #Phoenix will be doing a Family Hike and Trail Clean-Up (PHX)! SATURDAY MORNING (November 25th) we will be cleaning up the Holbert Trailhead on South Mountain in South Phoenix! Difficulty: Difficult Access: Start at the Park Main Entranced.

This trail offers a steady climb to the upper areas of South Mountain Park. Hike the extension trail that leads to Dobbins Lookout and be rewarded with a magnificent view of the valley below. The Holbert Trail also provides a route to connect with the National Trail just east of the T.V. Towers and west of Buena Vista Lookout. Distance: 2.5 mi Elevation Change: 1,100 ft. Hiking is an excellent low-impact workout, and is an outdoor activity delivering benefits beyond scenic and fun. Below are five reasons to hike with your kids: 1. Exercise. 2. Build self-confidence 3. Exposure to wildlife 4. Practice “Leave no trace” A great opportunity to talk about why we do not leave our trash in the park, and what happens to the litter that is left behind. 5. Unplug together We all know that kids spend a lot of time using digital media, and it is true for adults as well.
