What’s new at ELSEE? December updates

Dear friends,

We continue making connections with many new partners who share our vision of restoring nature and growing healthy food in Santa Clara Valley, all while sequestering as much carbon as possible along the way!

We find it is all the more urgent to stand together to improve our local communities since the recent election results. We have a pressing need to be progressive here at home. This can be our most powerful message.

When united in our goals, we can be a voice for others also seeking innovation, progress and economic equality—and for those who wish to protect nature with each step.

It’s time to drown out the noise and rhetoric and focus on our prize. United with purpose we can build new models for housing, schools and farms together. We can create native garden paths that connect us. We can transform our schoolyards. We can reconnect our children to nature.

Here are a few new collaborators who are supporting this vision:

University of California Cooperative Extension

Master Gardeners and Urban Agriculture Jessica Schleifer 

Katherine Rondthaler, Director of the Forge Garden, Santa Clara University

Bill Mains, Director of Sustainability Programs, Santa Clara University,

Food and Agro-business Institute, Santa Clara University

EGG Ecogreen Group of Silicon Valley

Veteran Farmers

Full Circle Farms, Sunnyvale

Please help us grow community spirit and join us at the upcoming events in December listed below and read about how you can take steps toward sustainability in your own neighborhood.

Thank you,

Alrie Middlebrook
