This article appeared to today's local paper and has a few things that need clarification, but it is a pretty long time period to cover...LOL The writer is a friend and is working with me and others on producing the 2nd Annual Watershed Poetry Mendocino, the second main focus of this article. She is a founder of the very cool local project, the Butler Cherry Ranch Project.

Watershed Poetry Mendocino is an annual celebration held in Ukiah and other Mendocino County communities utilizing multiple venues, poetry, art and environmental discussion to help raise awareness of the importance
of watersheds and the environment. Begun in 2008, Watershed Poetry Mendocino is inspired by and modeled after the Watershed Environmental Poetry Festival held annually in Berkeley, CA. Watershed Poetry Mendocino
is sponsored by the Cloud Forest Institute. Donations to Watershed Poetry Mendocino, can be made to Cloud Forest Institute and earmarked “Watershed Poetry Mendocino,” and sent to Cloud Forest Institute, P.O. Box 1435, Ukiah, CA 95482. For more information about Watershed Poetry Mendocino, visit the website at: http://watershedpoetrymendocino.wordpress.com. or contact Larry Sheehy 707-485-7072, ecotopialarry@gmail.com

The Watershed Environmental Poetry Festival, will be held again this year on Saturday, September 26, Noon to 4pm, at Martin Luther King, Jr. Civic Center Park in Berkeley. Free admission. More info at:

Are you a Northern Cali eco-organization/group, green businesses or eco-poet/nature writer, and want to table at Watershed Celebration Day, Oct 3rd in Ukiah? (especially if you're in Sonoma, Humblodt, or Lake counties). Contact me if you're interested and I can email you details. With a like-minded event happening at the same venue in the afternoon (Rally for the Valley), there would be an all-day tabling opportunity for you/your organization. I feel that it's important for a wider region (bioregion) to come together in community (unity) to promote watershed-bioregional-water conservation awareness. Please contact me though the Care2 messaging system and I'll get back to you. Thanks!

Article clarification:

The author mistakenly said that my wesite, Ecopalooza Green Events Network, had 800 events posted last year...wrong, she meant to say, almost 500, and only about 70 events so far this year (due to a health challenge)...but the good news is that my web person and I are working on a new site which we're hoping to get launched in Oct, or early Nov. And it will have new site features and lots of green events...yay!

Thanks Laura, Chaz and wonderful Care2 folks, all! I'm encouraged by your notes and supportive words!

I just received an interesting "comment" at the share for this article, claiming I'm a poser. Had to respond to defend my character...LOL Sorry to say I reverted back to being a jerk in-kind. Need to be more mindful!
