ESP Community Collaborative Partners

Who are the ESP Partnership members?

The ESP Partnership was initiated by the Marin fire agencies, Fire Safe Marin, Organizing for Action Marin, Marin Conservation League, and Sustainable San Rafael. These organizers formed a Steering Committee to launch the ESP Partnership and will continue to facilitate work moving forward.

The Steering Committee invited people from organizations and agencies recognized for their expertise and involvement in wildfire, climate, and ecologically sound practices. The list consists of renowned fire professionals, fire scientists and fire ecologists;  climate scientists, planners and advocates; leading specialists in gardens, native plants, pollination, wildlife and ecosystems, watersheds, soil, forests, composting, waste processing and carbon sequestration.

This is an evolving process with the goal of creating a forum that is inclusive, coordinated and consensus driven. Organizers expect that ESP Partnership membership will grow to reflect a full range of relevant stakeholders committed to this effort.
