Guest speaker: Dylan Skybrook, Manager of Santa Cruz Mountains’ Stewardship Network
This network is comprised of 21 members that manages or owns land in the mountains. This network manages about 500,000 acres that make up the 1,000,000 acres in the SC Mountains. Sometimes the members are in conflict- like not cutting trees and being a lumber company- though most of the time they do agree on the science.
 
The network brings groups together that may not have worked together before. Each member has their own strategic plan-- Dylan doesn’t tell members what to do. As manager he helps them discuss ways they can work together. This is a new network and their mission is to protect the land in the Santa Cruz Mountains. The network is funded through two foundations through 2019.
 
Detective: Scott taught us a new game!
 
Drawing: Karen is lucky at getting $5 but terrible at finding jokers.
 
The meeting was adjourned at 8:30 a.m.
