Bay Area newts featured on NPR's Morning Edition 🦎🌧️

Check out @Callie_Rhoades1's story: Newts cross Bay Area roads by the thousands each year. These volunteers are their crossing guards.

I am so happy and proud to have been a part of this historic effort!

California is now one of the nation’s leaders in bringing scientists, governments, Tribes, non-profits, and community members to explicitly partner with #beavers for climate change and wildfire risk reduction.

Pretty cool seeing a little cameo of one of my field sites (and a reference to my research!) in Tales of the Urban Wild: a Puma's Journey by @yap_ta!

If only those #beavers up on Little Last Chance Creek could know their ponds are famous now!
