Seth Atkinson Is The Newest Member Of The LandWatch Staff

Seth Atkinson is the new part-time Administrative Assistant for LandWatch. Seth graduated from Amherst College in 2001, and for the last two years has been working in Japan. A geology major, Seth has long been interested in the natural world and people's relationships to it. While in Japan, he noticed some of the acute consequences of poor land use: jumbled cities without coherent zoning, endless power cables stretching across the countryside, factories dumping waste in rice paddies, and the like. This sparked Seth’s thought about the need for long-term solutions to development issues. Now back at home in the Monterey Bay Area, and preparing to go to law school next year, Seth hopes to learn more and get involved in the policy-making process during his time at LandWatch. He is very excited to be working with LandWatch and looks forward to meeting and working with all the LandWatch community.
