Name: Morgan Lindsay
Title: Project Specialist
About: Morgan works to support the protection and restoration of Mono Lake and its tributary streams in the office and out in the field. She loves doing something different every day, from monitoring the lake's rise and groundwater patterns along the creek's bottomlands to researching policy issues. But after three summers sharing Mono Lake with visitors by canoe, Morgan's favorite job will always be making new friends for the lake. A graduate of Mount Holyoke College with an Environmental Studies degree in Water Science & Policy, there is nowhere Morgan would rather be than the Mono Basin. If she's not out hiking, skiing, or digging in the dirt with the Sierra Bounty CSA, Morgan's probably at rehearsal for the next Eastern Sierra theatrical adventure—eager for any socially acceptable excuse to sport a goatee.See All Posts by Morgan (33)

Please take a moment to send a letter to the California Department of Transportation today—now is the time to make your voice heard for a safe, ecologically-sound project!

The Lee Vining Rockfall Safety Project has the potential to solve old eroding roadcuts next to Mono Lake but only if Caltrans combines permanent slope stabilization with aggressive and guaranteed revegetation measures. Otherwise, a unmitigated version of the project will remove existing trees and shrubs, creating more erosion and permanent visual scars on the landscape.
There public comment deadline is September 24 and now is the time to make your voice heard on behalf of Mono Lake. To learn more about the Caltrans Rockfall Project, please visit our action center and send a letter today asking Caltrans to do the right thing for Mono Lake.
