The estimable Larry Hogue has taken leave of his communications consultant job at the Desert Protective Council, and the DPC has asked me to take his place. Not that I could replace him. But I’ll do my best.

The gig, a part-time consulting deal, will involve posting items at DesertBlog, editing and publishing the DPC’s newsletter El Paisano and various Educational Bulletins, maintaining the DPC’s twitter feed at @DesertBlog, and a few other tasks. I’m looking forward to digging in over some long-term strategic items, too.

I hope you’ll wander by and check it all out.

In the meantime, this is a great excuse to point out that most of you probably don’t have a copy of Larry’s book All the Wild and Lonely Places: Journeys In A Desert Landscape. My review is readable here. It should be required reading for Western Enviros.
