Big rubber boots and gloves. Cows and rain and mud. Volunteering can make you feel like a kid if you let it!

It’s time for California Duck Days, a family-oriented, community-based outdoor festival with activities for people of all ages!

See 3 ways the Putah Creek Council gave me a completely satisfying volunteer experience. Even if Gypsy had to stay home.

Point Reyes National Seashore Association (PRNSA) delivered a near-magical day of birding as part of a fully-layered calendar of events and programs.

I saved the entire northern California duck population by fixing a wagon wheel for the Yolo Basin Foundation (YBF).

I encourage everyone to do something. Do something! But I gotta admit. I'm starting to believe in nothing.

What changed my mind? A simple pamphlet that feels more like a treasure map anchored by a profoundly positive brand.

Volunteering with the Yolo Basin Foundation is simple, and the opportunities are plentiful. I even got to use a walkie-talkie on the first day!

Gypsy and I are walking over 130 miles from Sacramento to Point Reyes to learn more about conservation and how to help the heroes that serve our resources.

Forget Dracula. Bats are great friends to farmers and spectacular to watch on summer evenings. My mission is to ignite a new relationship between people and bats.

Creating blog or social content requires skill, process, and creativity. But my favorite part is the initial germ stage: My first raw ideas.

At least once a month, year around, I bite off a little adventure. It doesn't have to be scary, but it must connect me to nature and the world I support. Umm, that's you.

In 1972, I created a poster to promote awareness of California's growing air pollution problem that would change my life fifty years later.
