                        Thursday, April 5, 2018

  Mr. DeSAULNIER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the many 
accomplishments of Seth Adams as Save Mount Diablo's (SMD) Land 
Conservation Director. During his twenty-five years of work at Save 
Mount Diablo, Mr. Adams has played a large role in shaping the 
conservation movement in the East Bay. During his tenure, SMD has 
assisted in the preservation of more than 100,000 acres of open space 
in eastern Alameda and Contra Costa counties, successfully reintroduced 
the peregrine falcons at Mt. Diablo, and aided in the development of 
hundreds of millions of dollars of conservation funding.
  Mr. Adams began his career of conservation service in the East Bay 
after moving to Berkeley in 1981 and volunteering for the campaign 
against the Peripheral Canal in the Delta. He then joined SMD as its 
first hired staff member. Under his guidance, SMD has championed 
efforts of restoration and stewardship, aiming to preserve, defend, and 
restore the remaining 70,000 acres on Mount Diablo and its foothills.
  Mr. Adams's commitment to promoting the success and well-being of 
Contra Costa's nature and wildlife is deeply appreciated by the 
community he serves, and he should be proud of SMD's many notable 
accomplishments during his tenure.
  I thank Mr. Adams for his service and congratulate him on his 30th 
work anniversary.
