Board of Advisors

Advisors hold no vote and no fiduciary duty. They hold something else we need just as badly: deep field expertise in native ecology, municipal diversion, green workforce training, and media strategy.

Advisory Charter

What an advisory seat asks of you

Advisory seats are one-year renewable, uncompensated, and intentionally light. You are here to sharpen our work, not to govern it, governance stays with the Board of Directors.

Quarterly advisory reviews of program design and outcomes
Technical audits of plant palettes, irrigation specs, and soil protocols
Curriculum review for community workshops and field labs
Introductions to municipal, corporate, and philanthropic partners
