« Perspectives On The Will To Change - Annette Gellert Interview, Chair of RRI's Board, by The Rex Foundation | Main | Going green: White hunter, green heart » River Warriors CampaignFebruary 6, 2008 Huey Johnson, President and Founder of the Trust said, "We are celebrating the big achievements of the little guys. Small successes over decades are the reason that we still have any rivers at all." Johnson, who has been active in environmental preservation efforts for almost fifty years founded the Trust for Public Land, served as Secretary for Resources for the State of California, and has authored several books on environmental problem solving. He was also the recipient of the UN Sasagawa Environment Prize for his championship of the holistic action approach to environmental problem solving called Green Plans. Johnson said, "When one surveys the emergence of a citizen's movement to save water, the best efforts are those of individuals and small organizations that truly love and care for the rivers they're defending." Among those groups receiving the micro grants were, Friends of the River, The Smith River Alliance, Mill Valley Stream Keepers, Yellow Dog Watershed Preserve, Trout Unlimited, The Tuloumne River Trust and Friends of Butte Creek. "These largely unrecognized groups' expertise and dedication will prove instrumental to improving California and Western states' archaic water practices," said Johnson. ### Posted on February 11, 2008 9:55 AM | Permalink TrackBackTrackBack URL for this entry: |
