Spring is a universal time for action that beckons us to head outdoors, begin new projects, steward and restore our surroundings and seek changes for the better. To this end, Save Mount Diablo’s 64th issue of our biannual newsletter, Diablo Watch, focuses on the theme of “Advocacy in Action”—and tells the story of how we are rolling up our sleeves, getting our hands dirty, reaching out to encourage conservation by connecting with our local community (especially youth), hitting the pavement and engaging in grassroots advocacy to defend this special place we call home—Diablo’s wild lands.
