Approaching $3M of $10M Needed

Jackie and Shadow need all of you to be their heroes

Save Jackie and Shadow’s habitat!

Moon Camp is a proposed development that is in Jackie and Shadow’s foraging area and is less than a mile from their nest. This luxury residential housing project along with marina slips, assures “significant detrimental impact” to Bald Eagles and endangered plant life, according to wildlife experts. Environmental groups, including Friends of Big Bear Valley (FOBBV), have been opposing this development since 2001, and have filed multiple lawsuits on behalf of the Bald Eagles, San Bernardino flying squirrels and the rare Ash-gray Indian Paintbrush.

Impassioned students work to raise $10M to save bald eagle habitat in Big Bear Valley

There is hope…

The San Bernardino Mountains Land Trust (SBMLT) has entered into a limited Purchase Option Agreement to buy the land and to save the eagles’ foraging area on the undisturbed North Shore for $10 million. The funds need to be raised before July 31. After the sale, the Moon Camp land will be in permanent conservatorship next to United States Forest Service (USFS) land.

“This quiet, dark-skies community has amazing biodiversity that makes it unique in the world.

These species, including Jackie and Shadow, deserve to have their habitat preserved

for the long-term benefit of everyone.”

Sandy Steers, Executive Director of Friends of Big Bear Valley.

Let's do it for Sandy!
