California Water, Weather Whiplash, Climate Resilience and the wisdom of Mark Twain

Since 1993, Sustainable Conservation has been advancing the collaborative stewardship of California’s land, air, and water for the benefit of nature and people.

Jan Merryweather is a Director at Sustainable Conservation, where she has worked for over 10 years -- first leading the PlantRight program, then moving to the Water program, before arriving in her current role on the Development Team. She's here to share some interesting facts on building a more sustainable water future and climate resilient California.  After graduating from Stanford, the first half of Jan's career was in the private sector, working for toy companies. What she loves most about working for Sustainable Conservation is working with, not against, businesses to adopt more environmentally friendly practices that make economic sense. In her free time, Jan serves on the Board of Directors at Environmental Volunteers and can frequently be found hiking in the Santa Cruz Mountains.
