Daniela G alvez is one of our fellows who joined us in September 2025.  Daniela app roached this experience with immense curiosity and passion. She expanded h er background in Earth Science into a deep knowledge of local native plant s\, restoration practices\, and outdoor education pedagogies. She greatly connected with the AFC community\, interviewing volunteers\, leading resto ration and community events\, and working with students throughout the yea r on field trips. She also showed a keen interest in advocacy\, representi ng AFC in Washington D.C. and diving into our policy work. We’re thrille d that Daniela has decided to stay on for another year of fellowship with AFC! Please read Daniela’s reflection on her time with AFC so far. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n MY YEAR WITH AFC \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Daniela Gal vez \n \n \n \n \n Eleven months ago\, I joined th e California Climate Action Corps (CCAC) fellowship program at Arroyos & F oothills Conservancy (AFC). As I reflect\, I am filled with gratitude for having experienced a year of professional and personal growth. AFC greatly shaped my values and my relationship to my local community. From the conn ections I made\, the acres of land I restored\, and the community events I led\, I’ve never felt so hopeful for what lies ahead for the future of conservation in our city.  Prior to the start of the fellowship\, I had r ecently graduated from UC Santa Cruz with a degree in Earth Science. I had worked in different areas of environmental fields such as scientific rese arch\, habitat restoration\, and environmental advocacy. However\, by the end of college\, I felt I was at a crossroads in committing to a single ca reer path. My dilemma grew more complicated as my first post-college job a s a teacher’s assistant led me to discover that I also loved working wit h youth. Decisions\, decisions. Eventually\, I landed on CCAC’s website to find AFC. I saw a fantastic mission to join and an opportunity to conti nue exploring all my fields of interest.  \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n The most rewarding part of the fellowship was co-l eading AFC’s field trip program in which I helped educate over 3\,000 st udents during 89 field trips at the Rosemont Preserve. It was a pleasure t o work alongside so many dedicated volunteer docents whose commitment to v olunteering and nature education was inspiring. I’m grateful to these vo lunteers that make the programming possible. I also found working on AFC ’s Preserves to be incredibly fulfilling. As I watched the land transfor m through each season\, I found myself growing alongside it. I’ve become attuned to the fauna and flora that blanket Los Angeles’ foothills\, di scovering that the city is far more vibrant and biodiverse than I ever rea lized. On weekends\, I would co-lead AFC’s habitat restoration events in which I met so many Angelenos who were eager to support their local lands . There’s nothing better than sharing conversation over a morning of pul ling out invasive Mustard.    Restoration work is only possible when com munities feel welcomed and empowered to take care of the land around them. A trip to Washington D.C. as a representative of AFC\, showed me the same community-driven values on the national stage as I saw within our communi ty here in Los Angeles. Meeting with land trusts across the country to adv ocate for policies supporting conservation reinforced the importance of wo rking together. Ultimately\, this fellowship taught me that meaningful\, i mpactful conservation happens through the collective effort of people at e very level. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Being a part of the team at AFC has been a rewarding\, collab orative effort. Together\, we have accomplished many of our goals and outr eached to hundreds of community residents.  I’m thankful for the AFC st aff who took the time to share their work across programs\, research\, com munications\, land acquisition\, and land management. The skills and persp ectives I’ve learned are invaluable and I look forward to carrying them through future opportunities.  \nLooking ahead\, I’m excited to share t hat I’ll be returning to AFC for a second year! I’d like to continue d eveloping my program management and field-based skills. For now\, I’m lo oking forward to spending the summer reading up on Southern California eco logy to prepare for next school year’s field trip season.
