Having just come back from a trip to Baja and Central Mexico, and preparing for a 3-month trip this fall to Australia, New Zealand and the Southern Oceans, and another long one next spring to India, Nepal, and Bhutan, we find ourselves losing the ability to provide dependable focus on our Sonoma County causes.
In a few minutes, I'll be telling some friends that I'll no longer be able to participate in watershed education outings for middle school students in classroom and WillowCreek's Pomo Canyon campgrounds when the rains provide Chinook breeding opportunities. I've been a part of Stewards of the Coast and Redwood's outdoor education programs for almost a decade, and ending my service on these teams will be heart-breaking.
But I have to learn to say no to responsibilities which depend on my being around the County. We're going to be on the road to the world more than ever before.
