Morgan Margulies

Morgan is a land resilience partnership program coordinator at Daily Acts in Petaluma, California. With a BA in political science and sustainable development from Columbia University, Morgan finds his purpose at the intersection of ecology, equity, and governance. As a certified permaculture designer, Morgan works with his team at Daily Acts to conduct site assessments and develop integrated landscape designs for residential and public sites, with a specific focus on water conservation. The public site projects in schools and parks are particularly inspiring, as he has the opportunity to work collaboratively with a diverse array of community members to accomplish a goal of public access to green spaces. Growing up in the Yuba River watershed has ingrained in Morgan a sense of care and responsibility for the natural world, and he hopes that creating beauty through design will inspire others. As a passionate advocate for environmental justice, Morgan often returns to the quote “Justice is what love looks like in public,” by Cornel West. As Morgan continues on his path installing community-based ecology projects, he hopes to spread love to all corners.
