A key part of our success has been an investment in building a sense of community for those drawn to our mission. We show people how, while we are a statewide organization, the work that we’re doing is in their backyard. We are their local land trust, and the people with whom we partner in conservation are their neighbors. Much of this community-building happens at in-person events designed to celebrate each region’s unique relationship to the land. We currently organize these regional gatherings in Orange County, Santa Barbara, Sacramento, and Tehama/Shasta, plus smaller events including ranch tours, donor dinners, and partner celebrations throughout California. The Community Events Specialist serves as a creative force leading our community-building, non-fundraising events.
