Jennifer Norris said: “The work at One Tam represents this really incredible cross-agency partnership,” “It has a really strategic approach and a way of working together to get the most bang for your buck”

Danny Franco said: “I think, broadly, Marin County is really special in that it has 118,000 acres of forested woodland,” “That’s roughly one third of all of Marin County that’s covered in trees and woodland, and those areas are incredibly rich, natural ecosystems”

Jennifer Norris said: “Anyone who has been tracking the forest fire situation in California knows that decades of forest suppression had led to unhealthy forest conditions throughout the state,” “A lot of it, too, is about climate change. Those fires are hotter and we’re losing entire stands of tree”

Danny Franco said: “Those things can combine to reduce ecosystem quality and reduce ecosystem function, so the steps we will be taking under the grant will be to address those impacts in key areas really to support the long-term resilience and health of forests and woodlands overall,”

Carl Sanders said: “French broom, that will probably be the brunt of the effort that we do,”

Carl Sanders said: “We’re thrilled to be part of this grant award,” “It’s a significant boost to our funding that we otherwise wouldn’t be able to generate on water sales alone. At the same time, we own 20,000 acres of land on Mount Tam and a bit in west Marin as well, and we’re stewards of that land”

Jennifer Norris said: “We’re more effective, we’re thinking at a larger scale, and we can probably work more efficiently because we all use our best abilities together for a common purpose,” “Collaboration across a landscape is just amazing and really important if we’re going to get restoration at scale done”
