We're working to protect over 4,200 acres of vital wildlife habitat in Ventura County — and to create free public access for families, students, and communities that often face barriers to the outdoors. More than 1.5 million children live within 90 minutes of the Sespe Foothills. By safeguarding this landscape, we’re opening the door to nature, education, and exploration for generations to come. 👉 Learn more about the acquisition and how you can help make it happen: https://loom.ly/UXLITd4 #AccessToNature #OutdoorEquity #ConservationInAction 📷 photo of California Condors soaring above the Sespe Foothills by Devlin Gandy (fb)

📢 Big News: Historic Land Return in Carmel Valley! The Esselen Tribe of Monterey County @esselentribeofmontereycounty is reclaiming 1,720 acres of ancestral land along Tularcitos Creek — home to sacred sites, endangered species, and deep cultural heritage. Thanks to the support of @wildlifeconservationboard, @ca_coastal, and in partnership with The Wildlands Conservancy, this landback effort protects vital ecosystems and restores Indigenous stewardship to the heart of Upper Carmel Valley. This is a powerful step toward healing, ecological restoration, and honoring the Esselen people’s enduring connection to their homelands. 💚 #LandBack #EsselenTribe #EcologicalRestoration #Conservation #TularcitosCreek Read more here: https://loom.ly/8n7_iZY (fb)
