Many Native American tribes along the Russian River basin face significant economic and environmental challenges, with limited access to clean energy resources, climate education, and funding opportunities. PSLF’s partnership supports these communities as vital co-managers in achieving California’s climate goals by integrating tribal knowledge with modern clean energy solutions. Through training, capacity building, and shared leadership, the project empowers tribes to strengthen climate resilience, reduce greenhouse emissions, and build sustainable pathways toward economic prosperity.

• Provide training and knowledge transfer of climate adaptation and clean energy technologies
• Reduce greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution
• Work with Tribal and non-Tribal members to educate, train, and build upon existing ecological knowledge
• Uplift disadvantaged tribal communities by bringing renewable energy solutions into the fold
• Achieve California’s climate goals by integrating Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) with modern clean energy solutions
