Green Foothills: Advocates and Activists (Los Altos History Museum)

Los Altos History Museum will host Green Foothills’ Executive Director Megan Fluke and legendary environmental advocate Lennie Roberts in a discussion on how a committed group of people can create a positive impact on the environment, and what we all can do to save nature. “Green Foothills: Advocates and Activists” is slated for Saturday, March 4 from 10:30 – 11:30am.

Lennie Roberts, a legislative advocate with Green Foothills for more than 40 years, helped found the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District in 1972 and later advanced its expansion into San Mateo County and to the coast. She was the author and co-sponsor of Measure A, the Coastside Protection Initiative, and co-led a campaign for the passage of Measure T, resulting in the construction of the Devil’s Slide tunnel instead of an environmentally destructive, growth-inducing freeway bypass.

Megan Fluke joined Green Foothills as executive director in November 2013. In her role, she develops and implements the organization’s strategic goals and manages its operations. She won the Greenbelt Alliance Champion Award in 2017 and is a tenacious environmental nonprofit executive passionate about civic engagement and the common good.

Green Foothills serves as a champion for nature and wildlife in San Mateo and Santa Clara Counties through advocacy, education, and grassroots action.

“Green Foothills: Advocates and Activists” will be on Zoom. Registration is required. $10/person, free to Museum members. Register at losaltoshistory.org/GreenFoothills.
