Pazaka 25 zapitazi, California ReLeaf yathandizidwa, kutsogozedwa, ndi kuthandizidwa ndi anthu ambiri odabwitsa. Kumayambiriro kwa 2014, Amelia Oliver adafunsa anthu ambiri omwe adathandizira kwambiri zaka zoyambirira za California ReLeaf.

Woyambitsa ndi Purezidenti, TreePeople
TreePeople idayamba ntchito yawo mu 1970 ndikuphatikizidwa ngati yopanda phindu mu 1973.
Kodi ubale wanu ndi ReLeaf ndi wotani?
Ubale wanga ndi California ReLeaf unayamba pamene ndinakumana ndi Isabel Wade mu 1970. Isabel anali ndi chidwi ndi nkhalango za m'tawuni ndipo iye ndi ine tinayamba kukoka zinthu pamodzi. Tinapita ku msonkhano wa nkhalango za Urban Forest mu 1978 ku Washington DC ndipo tinatsegula zokambirana ndi anthu ena m'dziko lonselo za nkhalango ndi anthu. Tinapitirizabe kusonkhanitsa zambiri za momwe izi zingagwire ntchito ku California. Tinalimbikitsidwa ndi ena mwa owona masomphenya oyambirira, monga Harry Johnson, omwe anathandizira kufunikira kwa mitengo ya m'tauni.
Mofulumira ku 1986/87: Isabel adalimbikitsidwa kwambiri za California kukhala ndi bungwe ladziko lonse. Poyamba lingaliro linali loti TreePeople amalandira izi, chifukwa mu 1987 tinali bungwe lalikulu kwambiri m'boma, koma adaganiza kuti ReLeaf ikhale yodziimira yokha. Kotero, magulu ang'onoang'ono a nkhalango zakumidzi adasonkhana ndikugawana malingaliro. Ndikufuna kukhala ndi kukumananso kwa owonetsa masomphenyawa. California ReLeaf idapangidwa mu 1989 ndi Isabel Wade monga woyambitsa.
Bill ya Bush Farm ya 1990 idabwera nthawi yabwino. Aka kanali koyamba kuti boma la feduro lipereke ndalama za Urban Forestry komanso kuti ntchito ya nkhalango za mdera idadziwika. Bilu iyi inkafuna kuti boma lililonse likhale ndi Wogwirizanitsa Zankhalango za Urban ndi Wogwirizanitsa Odzipereka Odzipereka ku Urban Forestry komanso khonsolo ya alangizi. Zinakankhira ndalama ku boma (kudzera mu Dipatimenti ya Zankhalango) zomwe zimapita kumagulu a anthu. Popeza California inali kale ndi Urban Forest network (ReLeaf) yamphamvu kwambiri mdziko muno, idasankhidwa kukhala Wogwirizanitsa Odzipereka. Uku kunali kudumpha kwakukulu kwa California ReLeaf. ReLeaf idapitilira kukula m'zaka zapitazi pomwe imalimbikitsa magulu ena ndikupereka ndalama zothandizira mabungwe omwe ali mamembala ake.
Chotsatira chachikulu cha ReLeaf chinali kusinthika kukhala bungwe lomwe linali kupanga ndi kukopa mfundo za anthu osati gulu lothandizira. Izi zidakulitsa kusamvana pakati pa boma, lomwe limayang'anira ndalamazo, komanso kuthekera kwa Network kukopa zisankho za momwe ndalama zaboma zidagwiritsidwira ntchito ku Urban Forestry. Urban Forestry idakali chinthu chatsopano ndipo ochita zisankho sankamvetsetsa. Kupyolera mu mgwirizano wowolowa manja ndi TreePeople, ReLeaf adatha kukulitsa mawu awo onse ndikuphunzira momwe angaphunzitsire ochita zisankho ndikulimbikitsa mfundo za Zankhalango za Urban.
Kodi California ReLeaf imatanthauza chiyani kwa inu?
Payekha, ndikuyang'ana mmbuyo ku ReLeaf zaka zapitazo - ndikuwona izi muubwenzi ndi TreePeople. TreePeople tsopano ndi bungwe lazaka 40 ndipo lapanga mutu wa 'ulangizi'. Ndiye pali California ReLeaf; ali ndi zaka 25 amawoneka achichepere komanso amphamvu. Ndikumvanso kulumikizana kwanga ndi ReLeaf. Ntchito yomwe ndidakwanitsa ndi 1990 Farm Bill idayambitsa nkhalango yaku California ndikutsegula chitseko cha ReLeaf. Zili ngati ubale wa amalume ndi mwana, kwenikweni, womwe ndimamva ndi ReLeaf. Ndimamva kuti ndine wolumikizidwa ndipo ndimasangalala kuwawona akukula. Ndikudziwa kuti sadzachoka.
Kukumbukira bwino kapena chochitika cha California ReLeaf?
Zomwe ndimakonda kukumbukira za ReLeaf zili m'zaka zoyambirirazo. Tinali ouziridwa atsogoleri achichepere kubwera palimodzi kuti tizindikire zomwe tikanachita. Tinali okondwa kwambiri ndi ndalama zothandizira nkhalango za m'tauni zomwe zimabwera ku California, koma zinali zovuta, kuyesera kupeza zomwe tingachite mu ubale ndi Dipatimenti ya Zankhalango ya California. Urban Forestry inali lingaliro latsopano komanso losintha kwambiri ndipo zotsatira zake zidakhala ndewu yosalekeza ya yemwe amatsogolera Urban Forestry ku California. Kupyolera mu kulimbikira ndi kuchitapo kanthu, ReLeaf ndi kayendetsedwe ka nkhalango zakutawuni ku California akula ndikukula. Zinali zotsatira zabwino za kukula kwake.
Chifukwa chiyani kuli kofunikira kuti California ReLeaf ipitilize Ntchito yake?
California ReLeaf ili ndi magulu othandizira m'boma lonse, ndipo tikudziwa kuti ipitilirabe. Ndizolimbikitsa kuti paradigm ya ReLeaf ikupereka chitsanzo chatsopano cha momwe timachitira ndi dziko lathu lapansi. Tiyenera kuchoka ku njira zakale zopangira zovuta zamatawuni kupita kuzomwe zimatsanzira zachilengedwe, zomwe zimagwiritsa ntchito zomangamanga zobiriwira, monga mitengo yopereka chithandizo chachilengedwe. ReLeaf ndi dongosolo lokhazikika lomwe liri m'malo kuti izi zipitirire. Monga momwe yasinthira kwazaka zambiri, ipitilizabe kusintha kuti ikwaniritse zosowa za Network. Ndi moyo ndi kukula.
