Today we have Sharon Weaver on the show. Sharon is the executive director of the San Joaquin River Parkway & Conservation Trust, which works to protect the 22-mile stretch of the river between Friant Dam and Highway 99. This was a wonderful conversation about environmental protection, water rights, the politics of development, and much more.
