The journey to understanding Ventura County residential water usage & behaviors

I have been on a mission to determine if relationships exist between demographic characteristics, ecological identity and water use conservation methods and concern. The data for this study has been collected through an online survey mechanism using qualtrics. Dispersal methods seemed to have proven beneficial during the initial weeks of the survey start date, but the participation seems to have dwindled. I believe a refreshed outlook on dispersal methods is in order. I have decided to include hard copies of the survey in the data collection in hopes of increasing participation.

 

Word is Getting Out!

I am very excited to share that the Frances Huggins Community Health Clinic is getting some recognition! A BIG THANK YOU to Nick Timiraos of the Wall Street Journal for tweeting our recent interview with NPR. Check out the link below!

 

Fun times at Delacroix!!

We moved on to complete transects at Delacroix park today. It’s a much different forest with a more in-tact over canopy and larger woody plants. It’s a little wet but it’s fun to see a different part of the forest!

Community Garden

We had a great time singing and building this garden today! It felt nice to do some good for a local community that has gone through the worst of times.

 

It’s a ‘gator!
