Stand Up To Trash

What does it really mean to be an ocean steward? 🌊

While planning this year’s Dana Point Scavenger Hunt, I found myself reflecting on something much deeper than clues, passports and local history.

Growing up in Dana Point, this town shaped who I am.
The beaches, harbor, trails, and people created a connection that made me want to protect it.

As our community grows, I started wondering… how do we help others build that same connection to the places around them?

Inspired by the words of Baba Dioum, “In the end we will conserve only what we love. We will love only what we understand, and we will understand only what we are taught,” and our partnership with the Acjachemen Tribe, the original stewards of this land, I wrote a new blog post about community, connection, stewardship and why people protect what they love.

This one came straight from the heart. 💙
