Nature Webinar Series
An Environmental History of the Bay Area
Free Event
David D. Schmidt
Wednesday, April 8, 7pm-8:30pm
Join author David D. Schmidt, an EPA public affairs writer for 30 years, for an overview of the San Francisco Bay’s environmental history—how various peoples have interacted with the land and the impacts they have had. He will highlight two key events in the history of the Bay Area’s environmental movement: The Save the Bay campaign of the 1960s, and the Sonoma County struggle over PG&E’s nuclear power plant at Bodega Bay. Both these issues jump-started environmental activism and state and local governments’ environmental stewardship in the Bay Area and Sonoma County that has continued for more than 60 years, protecting and restoring the Bay Region’s natural and agricultural landscapes.
