203. Peter Brastow

The debut of Chonkers the giant sea lion to our humble city inspired this episode. I interview Peter, a restoration ecologist for the local gov and outdoorsy kind of guy. Peter has worked for 30 years to restore biodiversity in San Francisco and to connect San Franciscans to nature in the city. Following geography graduate school at UCLA, Peter worked for ten years as a natural resources specialist for the National Park Service at the Golden Gate National Recreation Area, and then in 2005, Peter founded Nature in the City, the first and only organization (still) wholly dedicated to restoration and community stewardship of the Franciscan bioregion. Since 2012, Peter has worked at the San Francisco Environment Department as the Senior Biodiversity Coordinator, convening an interagency working group to promote local biodiversity policies and programs; producing and implementing the Healthy Ecosystems Chapter of the City’s 2021 Climate Action Plan; and serving as the restoration ecologist for Yerba Buena and Treasure Islands in San Francisco Bay. https://reimaginingsf.org/ Thanks for listening, Bay Area!
