On the Same Team
A word from CalTrout’s ED, Curtis Knight
Spring has sprung. The sun shines longer, the air seems fresher, and the earth is popping with color—and we are still holding out hope for more rain. Makes you want to spend some time outdoors, huh? Our team at CalTrout is out there, at locations across California to improve fish abundance, increase streamflows, and restore habitats and the outdoor places we all love to enjoy.
I have so much respect for our CalTrout employees—they bring passion and professionalism and a ‘solve the problem’ approach that inspires me every day. And for March, which marks Women’s History Month, we’d like to celebrate the vital role that women play in our country and their important contributions they’ve made to society. Even though the month is coming to end, we are going to keep the focus on women by sharing with you the stories of the amazing women of our own organization.
Within CalTrout, women and nonbinary folks are creating real change. Representing over 68% of our staff people, they are leading, discovering, exploring, lobbying, advocating, healing, nurturing, building relationships, and making their own mark on history each day they step into the office or in the field. I invite you to learn more about our staff by checking out Women of CalTrout, a series of conversations recorded by CalTrout’s Communications Associate, Kara Glenwright.
CalTrout will forever be a team-focused organization. We wouldn’t be where we are today, 51 years after our inception, without our incredibly hard-working staff of diverse and unique people, all dedicated to conserving California’s freshwater ecosystems.
Best,
