"Sean is a Professor of Geography at Sierra College and in addition to being a teacher, he found a calling as an activist. He became a member of the Placer Group Executive Committee, got appointed to the Biological Working Group for the Placer County Conservation Plan, and then joined the cause of saving Clover Valley. His contribution was the production of a full-length video entitled, "Clover Valley -- Last of Its Kind." The film examines the motivations of a small group of local residents who have engaged in a seven year battle to save this unique place. Somehow spared from becoming part of the surrounding urban sprawl, Clover Valley is now threatened by a major development project. The natural, historical and cultural values of the valley are lovingly explored in Sean's film, as it convincingly makes the case that we will have lost something of our human spirit if places like this are not preserved."
