a heart-centered approach to personal andcommunity transformation. Our education programs, action campaigns, andstrategic alliances connect people to each other and to their own power to growfood, conserve resources and build local resilience.
Civic Engagement: Daily Acts works in partnership withmunicipalities across Sonoma County to help them achieve our sharedsustainability goals. Our municipal work is focused on education and outreach,primarily in the areas of water conservation and stormwater education. Since2009, we have transformed tens of thousands of square feet of water-thirstylawn into productive, edible, native, drought-tolerant and pollinatorlandscapes. We also support the installation of home-scale greywater andrainwater harvesting systems, facilitate sustainability tours, offerpresentations to businesses, affect local and state policy and work withschools to educate the next generation of solutionaries.

FireRecovery: The 2017 North Bay Wildfires were the deadliest in Californiahistory, destroying close to 3,000 homes in Santa Rosa alone, roughly 5% of itshousing. The next year of the rebuild will shape the character and determinethe resilience of our fire impacted neighborhoods and communities. Daily Actshas worked in partnership with the Sonoma County Water Agency, the City ofSanta Rosa, and local landscape architects to create scalable landscape designtemplates. Designed for water, fire, and resource resilience, these templatesare free to the public and will expedite permit approval while saving thousandsof dollars in expense per household. Findthe design templates here.
Leadership from the Inside Out: From escalating inequalities, our urgent climate crisis, and growing disconnection from self, community, and nature, we know something needs to change. We believe greater levels of values aligned leadership, civic engagement, cross-sector collaborations, and strategies to grow collective power are needed.
As we step up to this challenge, we are proud to invite you to join our September 2020 cohort of the Daily Acts Leadership Institute for Just and Resilient Communities.
