Review for Salmon Protection and Watershed Network (SPAWN), Forest Knolls, CA, USA
This organization is rooted in local actions of a community of dedicated volunteers, members, staff, and interns to do what's possible to recover endangered coho salmon from near extinction. SPAWN is a unique organization with diverse skills and works on a broad range of concerns related to habitat restoration, advocacy, land-use policy, native plant propagation, biological monitoring, land acquisition, and education. SPAWN is an example of how non-profits are effective at enacting change with actions rooted in mobilizing local citizens and leveraging resources, while creating lasting partnerships with other institutions. The locally-based non-profit model of SPAWN is how success has been accomplished on the grass-roots level and been effective at a larger scale. I'm very proud of the work SPAWN does and will continue to do with local support.
