South Yuba River Citizens League (SYRCL) Executive Director, Dr. Aaron Zettler-Mann, is the guest speaker at the November 15th American Association of University Women (AAUW) program.
His talk will focus on the importance of protecting forest health and reliable water, which are critical concerns for people living in Nevada County. As climate change continues to reshape the environment, what will it mean for forests, the quality of water, and the future of local communities?
Dr. Zettler-Mann will share the interconnectivity of local forests, water systems, air, and living ecosystems. He also will discuss steps that can be taken — both at home and across the region — to adapt and build resilience, emphasizing that healthier forests lead to cleaner water and stronger, more resilient communities. Dr. Zettler-Mann has a BA, an MA, and a PhD in geography and has extensive experience in watershed science.
The meeting, which is free and open to the public, will be held 9:30-11:30AM at Peace Lutheran Church, 828 W. Main Street, Grass Valley. This program is sponsored by KNCO/News Talk Radio 830 and Westamerica Bank.
