Wildfire in the watershed: Keeping it cool
Greetings!
Our Healthy Headwaters leadership team has been hard at work this past year—developing a groundbreaking policy platform in May, convening in Portland in November, and heading to Washington, D.C., for some education and outreach work just a couple of weeks ago, among other things.
In this issue of Confluence, we highlight two valued members of that team, each of whom offers a unique and compelling perspective on headwaters restoration and management. Read on!
Regards,
 Kimery Wiltshire Executive Director

The value that flows downstream:
When it comes to conservation issues, there’s not much that John Shepard is afraid to take on. As senior advisor for the Sonoran Institute, he’s known for his ability to help people with vastly different viewpoints on land management issues find common ground. From a water perspective, that means working with communities “from the bottom up” to help them understand and protect the value of their watersheds.

Roadmap to a healthy watershed:
Whether hitting the slopes in winter or hitting the trails in summer, Dale Lyons is all about enjoying everything the mountains have to offer. But as water resource coordinator for the city of Santa Fe, he makes sure people know that the value of those slopes isn’t only in their majestic beauty. The forests they’re home to are critical to the water supply—just ask any Santa Fe sixth-grader. Learn about Santa Fe’s watershed investment program
