Regeneración Pájaro Valley Climate Action
Regeneración Pájaro Valley Climate Action invites the community to join them for Pájaro Resident PhotoVoice Exhibition, an exhibition of images and stories by youth and community leaders that illustrate how climate change is impacting people in Pájaro. The project provides Pájaro residents the opportunity to tell lasting stories and express their fears, hopes, and dreams in the real face of climate change through photojournalism. Meet the participants and see their photographs at the event.
The exhibition will be held May 8, 2024 at Somos, Watsonville, CA. Register here.
The Fund for People in Parks
On April 10, 2024, The Fund for People in Parks celebrated 10 years with Community Initiatives! They shared pictures from their first project, which was to fund four new telescopes for visitors at Pinnacles National Park, so visitors could better see California condors and the stunning rock formations for which the park was named.

Latino Outdoors
Earlier this month, Latino Outdoors held a Park Maintenance Day event in the Presidio of San Francisco to help restore the historic Battery Chamberlin near Baker Beach. Built in 1904, Battery Chamberlin was constructed to accommodate the coastal defense artillery developed in the late nineteenth century. The park holds the last 6-inch “disappearing gun” of its type on the west coast. Sofía García, Client Services Manager at Community Initiatives, volunteered and shared this great picture of herself with event organizer, Aurora Cortes.
