A major component of Trees Foundation's work with North Coast activists and grassroots environmental groups is helping to get their message out to the public, agency staff, elected officials, and others. Trees has expanded its capability for network partners to effectively reach the community with a new radio program, the Trees Radio Hour on KMUD FM radio broadcast along the North Coast and over the internet.
Launched in December 2003, the Trees Radio Hour features interviews with members of Trees conservation and restoration partners discussing the topics that are most important to their work. Thus far guests have included Piercy Watersheds Association, InterTribal Sinkyone Wilderness Council, Friends of Yosemite Valley, Salmon Protection And Watershed Network (SPAWN), Salmonid Restoration Federation (SRF), and the Eel River Salmon Restoration Project.
Some highlights have been conversations regarding the preservation of a Red-Mountain-to-Sinkyone wildlife linkage in Mendocino county, massive development & commercialization plans for Yosemite National Park, salmon restoration in critical North Coast watersheds, and federal wilderness protection for 300,000 acres of wild northwestern California public lands.
The show is broadcast live on KMUD FM at 88.3 in northern Humboldt County, 91.1 in southern Humboldt, and 89.7 in northern Mendocino, and streamed live across the internet at www.kmud.org. We are working to make archives of past shows available on our website, www.treesfoundation.org.
The next Trees Radio Hour airs on September 30, 2004, at 7:00 p.m. For information on the show and scheduled guests visit our website or call the Trees community resource center in Garberville at 707/923-4377.
