Watershed Arts Center
Support from Elected Officials
-
"As the Assemblymember for the 27th District,
I fully support the goals
of RisingLeaf Watershed Arts and their proposal
to establish a
Watershed Arts Center in Carmel Valley. Water,
of course, is one of the
most important resources we have. Creative
approaches such as those
undertaken by RisingLeaf Watershed Arts will
be necessary component as
we address our water needs. "

Assemblyman
John Laird, 2004
"I am enthusiatic about all efforts to educate the public
about the
importance of protecting, preserving and enhancing
one of our most
valuable resources. The RisingLeaf Watershed
Arts Center will serve an
important function in our area, one that is
not currently being met.
The multi-faceted approach being proposed will
garner the involvement of
students, teachers, seniors, artists, scientists
and many others in our
community."
Supervisor

- " I wish to express my support for the RisingLeaf
Watershed Arts
proposal to establish a Watershed Arts Center in
Carmel Valley. This
project has the potential of benefiting our whole
community including
the building trades, water purveyors, planning agencies,
neighborhood
groups, schools, land developers, agricultural growers,
tourism, arts
and science organizations. The effects of such a
center can bring about
fundamental change in the way we live on the land
we inhabit and how we
live in relation with each other. This can lead to
the protection of our
rivers and ocean."
- Assemblyman
Fred Keeley, 2002
"I very much enjoyed hearing about the work
of RisingLeaf Watershed
Arts. I am particularly encouraged by the work of
your organization to
establish a watershed community center in Carmel
Valley. Such a center,
as you outlined to me, would act as an important
case study in Monterey
County for residents and visitors as it will promote
watershed health
through ecological design, a comprehensive approach
of educating about
watersheds through the arts and sciences, and building
structures which
are sensitive to the land."
- Congressman
Sam Farr, 2003
