Coyote Creek Howl a Success

Coyote Creek Howl a Success

Thanks to San Jose State University for hosting the first Coyote Creek Howl, a conference to discuss issues related to Coyote Creek. Over 130 people attended the event, including 50 students from SJSU and De Anza College. The conference featured:

• A thought-provoking talk by Barbara Rose Johnston about water and its relationship to people

• Lively discussions on homelessness, fisheries, and neighborhood issues

• A presentation by Herman Garcia about hope for the health of our creeks

•  Panelist discussing wildlife threats, advocacy for our creeks, and ways to get engaged and enjoy the creek

The day ended with an inspirational message of healing by Shanon Brown from Downtown Streets Team and a moving ensemble performance by SJSU students about homelessness (see below).


If you weren't able to attend, be sure to keep your eyes pealed for upcoming events to further your involvement in restoring our creeks. You can also read a few writeups from SJSU students: Spartan Daily, Academic Affairs Newsletter (halfway down).
