For the 2024 Summer cohort, our BEETs interns will be partnering with the Communications Team on a weekly project. They will learn about nature journaling and publish their own writings to share their discoveries.
For the 2nd week of Beet’s we focused on sustainability and resilience in our community: First, we started with a plant check-in, the lettuce and tomatoes are thriving this summer! Next, was our walking tour around SF, I noted how parks in the western addition and downtown area are reinforcing sustainability and resilience. Lastly, we each designed our own dream park! I designed mine in a way where water can flow down a hill and instead of settling in a valley the water will get absorbed by California native plants as well as succulents that are drought resistant.
