Fifty Years Of Save Mount Diablo Episode 3 - The Future

The Berkeley Remix is a podcast from the Oral History Center of The Bancroft Library at the University of California, Berkeley. This season we're headed east of San Francisco to Mount Diablo in Contra Costa County. In this three-part series, "Fifty Years of Save Mount Diablo," we look at land conservation through the lens of Save Mount Diablo, a local grassroots organization. It's been doing this work since December 1971—that's fifty years. This season focuses on the organization's past, present, and future. Join us as we celebrate this anniversary and the impact that Save Mount Diablo has had on land conservation in the Bay Area and beyond. Episode 3: "Save Mount Diablo's Future." In this episode, we explore Save Mount Diablo's future. From addressing the challenges of COVID-19 to fundraising efforts to protecting land and biodiversity in the entire Diablo Range to mitigating the impacts of climate change to expanding membership and partnerships, Save Mount Diablo still has a lot of good work ahead. This episode asks: what challenges does Save Mount Diablo face today? What can Save Mount Diablo do about climate change? What does the future of Save Mount Diablo look like?
