Today we are joined by Martin Hahn who grew up in South-East Asia and moved to Europe where he delved into the fields of scientific research,  in organizational and industrial sociology,   radio journalism, and management consulting for the next 12 years.

Recommended Resources

The  Recommended Resources  series has been published on this blog since we transferred it from the Brummet's Muse biweekly newsletter that ran for 6 years or so. When we closed it down, we decided that the resources were just too amazing not to continue. With this series, I have the pleasure of sharing some great resources which can include - positive impact organizations and events, citizen science projects and links to helpful articles. Feel free to check out their websites, and perhaps send them a note of appreciation for what they do. It would, of course, be fantastic if you see a way to network with them or get involved some how, or possibly share their information with your networks.

Funding awarded to conserve 6,300 acres of working forest in Trout Lake, Washington We are excited to share the success of a funding application we submitted in partnership with The Conservation Fund, the Washington Department of Natural Resources, and Green Diamond Resource Company.     The $8,250,000 award will enable the future conservation of 6,378 acres of forestland outside Trout Lake, Washington, through the federal Forest Legacy Program.    The project will help support a thriving forestry workforce in south central Washington, underpinning hundreds of jobs. When completed, this conservation effort will also protect Trout Lake’s drinking water supply, conserve critical habitat for fish and wildlife, and ensure public recreation access, which is a thriving contributor to the regional economy.
