"Silicon Valley Youth Climate Action (SVYCA) recently launched its Youth Climate Video Contest for aspiring filmmakers ages 12-18 from Santa Clara County to submit short videos highlighting Coyote Valley, farming and food systems, nature-based climate solutions and personal connections to nature. The contest is sponsored by the Santa Clara Valley Open Space Authority. By giving young people a creative platform to share their priorities, they're helping cultivate the next generation of environmental change-makers, said Jackie McBride, the authority's community investment specialist, in a release."
"The youth-led nonprofit created the contest as a platform for students to take informed climate action and share their ideas to inspire more initiatives within their own communities. Video submissions should be 2-5 minutes long. Entries will be reviewed by a panel of judges made up of local leaders and climate professionals. Winning entries will be announced April 22 and will receive $100-$500, and the winners will be screened at an event in mid-May."

I Love Nature is a 19-page book illustrated by Oakland author and artist Robert Liu-Trujillo. The free, downloadable activity book is intended as a tool to introduce young readers to local plants, flora and fauna. It is available in English, Spanish, Vietnamese and Chinese."
