Try as he may to turn things around and focus on true advocacy, Steve was faced with a task which was unsurmountable. TNC wanted to buy Big Springs (the largest cold water spring in Siskiyou county, CA) very badly, and by now probably has it. Look for TNC to compromise with a large bottler (the area already has three, with another in the wings) to recoup their investment. They already buy land with money they get from large corporate donors. Consider a name change to "The Nestle Channel". God forbid Steve gets replaced by someone like Brian Stranko, who rules his Cal Trout minnions with an iron fist. It seems that legitamacy can be bought, as long as you're willing to pay for enough "studies".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9310432.post-9493601789355770992007-11-03T11:03:00.000-05:002007-11-03T11:03:00.000-05:00I was saddened to hear of Steve's departure from T...I was saddened to hear of Steve's departure from TNC. He has been a catalyst for so many great habitat protection efforts. I look forward to letting him rest for a while before seeing him reemerge with the tenacious determination that only Steve can manage to turn into real action. I do hope that he and others in the environmental movement will start to address the major problem that threatens our planet and our species, that of overpopulation.Nature Alihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13495179131080199460noreply@blogger.com
