I have a lot of respect for U.S. federal #workers who have been strategizing for #conservation, #climate stability, and #justice. Many of our best have been recently exited from #federal service, and that's a loss for #democracy. I know that they will find their way back to this important work, no matter how long it takes.

In the mean-time, please consider supporting my colleague Yessenia Mendez with a [small $5 or larger] contribution to this GoFundMe campaign.

Yessenia, a staff biologist at #Heinz National Wildlife Refuge at Tinicum, is an essential partner for public engagement and a love of the outdoors. She has had a huge impact on my crews from #MobilizeGreen, the #Student Conservation Association, and countless other people from local community groups. Together, #WeRise 💚 💚 💚 !
