I was an elected official in Santa Cruz County, California for twenty years. Now, I am an environmental attorney, "Of Counsel" to the law firm of Wittwer & Parkin. To get my perspective on land use and planning issues, please listen to the Land Use Report that I give each weekday morning on KUSP Radio, covering land use policy issues on the California Central Coast.

Stan Bronson is a sixth generation Floridian, born in Orlando, with undergrad education done at Florida Southern College and grad work done at Florida Atlantic University and the University of Florida.  Spending most of his career in the citrus industry, 14 years of which was COO of Callery-Judge Groves, in 1999 he joined the extension faculty of the University of Florida, developing a natural resources education program for South Florida ecosystem restoration initiatives. That program has evolved into the Florida Earth Foundation, begun in January 2002.  FEF is a public-private partnership of over 70 agencies, universities, industries and not-for-profits, whose mission is to “put people together through education, outreach and facilitation to ensure the environmental integrity of Florida and quality of life.  Bronson now serves as Executive Director of Florida Earth, which administers Florida’s only permanent program with the United Nations, the UNESCO-IHE/Florida Earth Partnership and USNC, the US-Netherlands Connection Program, which is a knowledge exchange between the US and the Netherlands on climate change adaptation and water management.  Coming from a ranching family who supplied the land for Disney World in the 60’s, Stan’s love of the land has always been an inspiration throughout his career.
