Over the past 28 years, LandWatch has been a go-to thought leader on every major land, water, housing, and climate action in Monterey County. Our role in local decision making is possible because of the caliber of collective thought that goes into our work. We have been fortunate to rely on the expertise of highly qualified elected officials, scientists, attorneys, developers, architects, designers, community organizers, and many others. Being a member of the Advisory Group serves as an acknowledgement of individuals who have contributed time and expertise to our work, and who have expressed a willingness to do so again in the future, should the need arise.
