30×30 Workshops Being Scheduled

Friends of Harbors, Beaches and Parks (FHBP) received grant funding to train community groups, non-profits and land trusts in the conservation, social equity, environmental justice and tribal arenas on how to implement 30×30. FHBP is hosting eight virtual workshops focused on the Pathways to 30×30 and the “how to” behind conservation and restoration work. The latter focus includes funding discussions, transactions, and capacity presentations. The workshops will be every fourth Thursday from 10 – 11:30 am starting in April and ending in November. They will be recorded and include closed captioning and live Spanish language interpretation. (NOTE: November is the 5th Thursday.)

Advance Mitigation Program Adopted

Friends of Harbors, Beaches and Parks (FHBP) was successful after more than a decade of work to get the Regional Council of the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) to adopt a Regional Advance Mitigation Program policy framework. This mechanism allows infrastructure and housing projects and their impacts to be bundled and offset comprehensively. SCAG’s 2020 Regional Transportation Plan anticipates a billion dollars for conservation could be generate by agencies that use this tool.
