2024 ‘Cap-to-Cap’ Recap
Every year, Sacramento area businesses, as well as community and non-profit organizations, band together for a common cause. They team up and attend the annual
Capitol-to-Capitol (“Cap-to-Cap”) program in Washington, DC to promote business development in the Sacramento region. This year marked the program’s 52nd year and Robert Heidt, President & CEO of the Sacramento Metro Chamber, joins us to report on how this year’s advocacy trip went and some of the key issues facing our area.
Tuolumne County’s Environmental Resilience
Tuolumne County is home to 55,000 residents who are surrounded by some of the most precious natural resources in the state. But this gateway to Yosemite has been overcoming a debilitating reality facing California’s foothill and Gold Rush communities - the hazardous and costly consequences of devastating wildfires.

They join Insight to explain how this rural community is approaching recovery and resiliency by adapting to the needs of today - from forest health, to the unforgiving fire insurance landscape, as well as working to streamline affordable housing. Here is a look at their Social and Ecological Resilience Across the Landscape (SERAL) project
