Hi there!
Happy January 2020! Wow, that's even hard to write, let alone say. 2020?!
As we embark on a new decade and approach ESLT's 20th anniversary, I wonder what the Eastern Sierra might look like in 2030 if you weren't working side by side with us to protect this extraordinary and special place.
Would the beautiful wide-open vistas that are home to mountain lion, deer, sage-grouse, and pronghorn be cut up by houses and roads? It breaks my heart a little to think of what might have been.
Thankfully, I don't have to. Instead, we can celebrate all the Eastside conservation successes (with more on the way!) that we've worked hard for and achieved together. We're lining up a lot of fun adventures this year where we'll do just that. Psst... check out our new concert series!
I hope that 2020 brings you and your loved ones laughter, wonder, and time outdoors. If that sounds fun to you, keep an eye on our events. I think we can help.

"I moved to Benton three years ago from Napa, California where I volunteered with the Napa County Land Trust for many years. I was delighted to learn that there was a very active and effective land trust here." Read about how one of our dedicated volunteers cares for her special Eastern Sierra places, at the link below. Thank you, JB!

Remembering Steve McLaughlin
1948-2019
Steve McLaughlin was an expert botanist who identified native plants on ESLT's protected lands. His knowledge gave us a deeper understanding of places like Black Lake Preserve, so we can care for them in the ways they need. Thank you for all you've done, Steve.
