Hear from Leonard Diggs Director of Operations at Pie Ranch about their new farm incubator working to advance farm business ownership.

Join POST in a conversation with Author Jenny Clendenen about her new book featuring the history of María Zacarías Bernal de Berreyesa, whose Californio family helped settle the whole Bay Area during the Spanish and Mexican periods. Participants will hear the story of how her husband and father held vast parts of south San José, including the Rancho San Vicente of Calero County Park, and how they were ruthlessly dispossessed when Americans arrived.

Join POST and Midpen for a fun webinar to learn about the birds of Windy Hill. Local Naturalist Jeff Caplan is back with a new class to teach us how to ID and connect to birds and their habitat for your next visit to this beloved preserve. Great for all ages!

This session, led by our friends at The Avarna Group, will focus on the controversial history of environmental conservation in the United States and work to change the future. Participants will be led through a timeline of events from the 19th and early 20th century, revealing how early environmental movements sometimes harmed Black, Indigenous, and other communities of color across what is now the United States. Using this context, we will also discuss examples of how conservation movements are now working to course correct, and ensure that our future is more equitable and inclusive.

We will host a conversation with Richard Tejeda from Saved By Nature - a recently formed South Bay nonprofit working to provide accessible, culturally relevant programming to all people in our Bay Area. Richard will share his story of how he came to this work, and share examples of the type of programming he is offering in partnership with the Santa Clara Valley Open Space Authority and other agencies, much of which takes places on POST-protected lands.
