PFT submits comments to California’s Water Resilience Portfolio Initiative
Jill Harris, PFT’s Program Manager for Healthy Watersheds California, spoke at a public forum for California Water’s Future held by the California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA) in Redding, CA on August 6th. This was one in a series of forums meant to elicit public comment and recommendations to Governor Gavin Newsom to fulfill his April 29 executive order for the state to build a climate-resilient water system and ensure healthy waterways.
In addition, PFT submitted detailed public comments to the State of California Water Resilience Portfolio Initiative on September 1. (Read them here.)
