At Tuesday’s (Nov 14) Community Block, we are hosting Nina Gordon-Kirsch to share stories from her journey to answer the question: Where does my water come from? In July 2022, Nina walked more than 240 miles over 33 days, from her home in Oakland to the headwaters of the Mokelumne River in the Sierra Nevada mountain range. She walked on the Bay Trail, through the Delta Islands (swam a few river crossings), kayaked upstream for 2 days, and backpacked off-trail in a remote river canyon. On her journey, Nina interviewed farmers, river conservationists, hydropower employees, and regular citizens, collecting stories about how we all relate to water. We will hear about her journey and what it means for us.
