A longtime Santa Cruz local, Becky was       active in the environmental activism community on the Central Coast. Becky passed away this       summer. She is survived by her husband, Jim Cockrell, and her son Sam       Littman.\u00a0<\/p><p>An immigrant, Becky moved to California with her       family from her native Germany when she was in middle school. After studying wildlife biology       at Oregon State University, Becky earned her degree in conservation and resource studies from       UC Berkeley.\u00a0<\/p><p>During the summer of 1983, on an internship with       the Wildlife Research Institute in Montana, Becky joined a protest against illegal       construction of new logging roads in forests concurrently under Forest Service review for       wilderness designation. The protest saved a forest and galvanized Becky\u2019s passion for       public policy and direct action on behalf of the wild. Becky interned as a ranger for the       National Park Service, worked for the National Forest Service, trained as a firefighter, and       eventually earned her Multiple Subject Teaching Credential at UC Berkeley and went on to teach       environmental education. In 1989, Becky and her husband Peter moved to Santa Cruz County,       where she took a teaching job at Gateway School.<\/p><p>In the early       2000s, Becky transitioned from direct action and teaching about nature to focus on policy to       protect nature. She joined a consulting firm where she managed a number of political candidate       campaigns. She led grassroots efforts to lobby the Santa Cruz City Council, City Commissions,       and the Coastal Commission to oppose commercial development in sensitive areas, preserve open       spaces, and establish affordable housing throughout Santa Cruz       County.<\/p><p>In 2005, Becky attended a sustainable agriculture and       organic farming program at UC Davis. Upon graduating, she eagerly sought a job in organic       agriculture and was excited to land at CCOF. At CCOF, Becky was admired for her expertise in       organic standards and for her efficiency and diplomacy at shepherding clients through the       certification process. After 16 years of dedicated service to the company and the organic       communities we serve, Becky retired from her position as Senior Certification Service       Specialist in June 2021. Upon her announcement, Becky\u2019s supervisor commented, \u201cWhen       Becky retired, we hired two people to replace her\u2014her small shoes were very       big.\u201d<\/p><p>It&#8217;s never easy to say goodbye to a loved one. We like       to think of it as a \u201csee you later.\u201d With our 2022 Organic Champion award, we also       wish to send another message to Becky: \u201cThank you for your dedication to organic and       community!\u201d<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><figure class=\"content-image\"><\/figure>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_relevanssi_hide_post":"","_relevanssi_hide_content":"","_relevanssi_pin_for_all":"","_relevanssi_pin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_unpin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_include_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_exclude_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_no_append":"","_relevanssi_related_not_related":"","_relevanssi_related_posts":"","_relevanssi_noindex_reason":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[111],"class_list":["post-33840","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-foundation-news","language-english","foundation_topics-funding","foundation_topics-grants","foundation_topics-partners"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
