Tacoma SDS

Project Earth, a student-led environmental group at UWT, will be hosting Ecuadorian activist Leonardo Cerda. Leonardo Cerda is running a campaign to raise awareness about food sovereignty, indigenous resistance, and local cooperatives in the areas around the Amazon River. Cerda has been active in the environmental movement since age 14, and his story of activism will be an inspiration for people interested in climate change.

The Port of Tacoma has bought a 745 acre parcel of Rocky Prairie land located right in the middle of a sensitive area with Millersylvania State Park less than half a mile to the north and a state fish and wildlife reserve bordering it on the south. For 15 years, the state park and the wildlife dept have had their eye on this property, which, in combination with the neighboring McIntosh forest reserve, would create an amazing wildlife corridor and preserve several threatened native species.
