Kristin Dobbin, with UC Cooperative Extension @UCBerkeley, who was not involved in the report, called the analysis “extremely important.” The finances behind drinking water are “not something we’ve had a big picture view on across the country before." insideclimatenews.org/news/0…

🌲What does it mean to care for a woodland under threat? In the Eastern Sierra, Indigenous-led monitoring linked long-term attention to place with ecological data, and a public survey gave insights on environmental responsibility @ESPM_Berkeley 📖 buff.ly/xWGSd80

Learn how ESPM associate adjunct professor @pgonzaleztweet's time spent in the Peace Corps in Senegal changed both his Berkeley research and his life. news.berkeley.edu/2026/09/09…
More UC Berkeley alums have joined the @PeaceCorps than from any other university. From helping defuse a civil war in Kyrgyzstan to improving local forestry in Senegal, they're putting what they learned on campus to work around the world. bit.ly/4d5dfe8

What if the key to saving endangered giant sequoias is restoring a relationship they evolved with thousands of years ago? A new study from our forestry experts found that prescribed fire and fuel-reduction treatments cut giant sequoia mortality by more than half during the 2020 Castle Fire, supporting the role of frequent, low-intensity fire in keeping these forests healthy.
