Executive Committee

The Executive Committee is committed to educating, inspiring, and empowering children and adults to engage with the natural world, learn to live in a more sustainable manner, keep informed about environmental and community issues, preserve our vital watersheds, and take a more active role in shaping our local communities. They work together to ensure the success of the Whole Earth and Watershed Festival annually in Redding. The event's purpose is to celebrate Earth Day (April 22) and Watershed Awareness Month (May), provide an avenue for education and awareness for community members of all ages, and to serve as a place for diverse organizations with a variety of perspectives to engage in positive and constructive dialogue as we move our region to one that embraces a more sustainable future. The make up of the Executive Committee is a reflection of their understanding of what it means to be a sustainable community. That is, a community where social, economic, and environmental issues and solutions are viewed as interconnected. The Committee has 12 members representing business, non-profits, government agencies, and educational organizations.
