Join Us to Build Community & Resilience in Our Shared Backyard!
From the Byrne-Milliron Forest to the Glenwood Open Space Preserve, members like you are partnering with us to ensure there are redwood and oak forests to hike, farmland to produce fresh healthy food, and connected open space for wildlife to roam.
This spring, your support will help us to:
- Build over five miles of new trails at our Watsonville Slough Farm, which will include u-pick orchards and gardens, picnic areas, boardwalks, and viewing platforms.
- Restore 40 acres of tidal marshland at Beach Ranch to create a resilient landscape that protects prime farmland and buffers the surrounding community from increasing storms, flooding, and sea-level rise.
- Plan fire resilience and habitat restoration projects in partnership with the Central Coast Prescribed Burn Association and Resource Conservation District of Santa Cruz County.
When you make a gift of any size to the Land Trust, you automatically become a member. Every gift makes a difference.
Thank you for your support!
