Is there a link between a just, healthy and “whole” community and one where its people have opportunities to not just visit parks and farms but actually participate in their care? The local public benefit corporation, LandPaths, and its director of the past 22+ years believe these things are inextricable. Craig Anderson will offer a candid reflection of his personal and spiritual journey and how they are enmeshed in his professional work.  

Our speaker Craig Anderson is the Executive Director of LandPaths that includes Bayer Farm & Community Garden in Roseland, a place for renewing community and seeking social equity via access to open space and clean food. A fifth generation Californian, with stints at the Nature Conservancy and Yosemite Institute. He was chosen by Bay Nature Magazine as its 2014 Bay Area Conservation Hero. He lives in Santa Rosa with his wife Lee Hackeling and their two children and enjoys offshore kayak fishing, wild foraging, farming his front-yard, and playing music in the “Sonomacana” band Solorio.
