Dear Adrienne,


Now more than ever, your contribution to the Laguna de Santa Rosa Foundation does more than restore land—it plants seeds of environmental stewardship in thousands of young minds and protects the Laguna’s future for generations.


“Restoration is imperative for healing the earth, but reciprocity is imperative for long-lasting, successful restoration. …We restore the land, and the land restores us.”

― Robin Wall Kimmerer, Braiding Sweetgrass


This spirit of reciprocity is seen in small, but powerful moments, like when this student discovered:

“I had so much fun learning inside the classroom about the Laguna. I also like the groups and meeting you and learning new things. And learning about new animals and also what the animals do to help the earth. “

― Learning Laguna 3rd grader from Yulupa Elementary School, Santa Rosa


As climate change accelerates, so does the urgency to protect the Laguna de Santa Rosa. By joining together to care for this vital watershed, we can improve water quality, conserve endangered species, reduce flooding, support sustainable agriculture, connect with nature, and build climate resilience for the entire region. Just as our Learning Laguna 3rd grader recognizes how animals help the earth, we, too, have never been in a better position to help our local watershed, with your support.

Restoring the land restores us. Since Learning Laguna started 25 years ago, we have empowered over 25,000 youth through connection with nature, and inspired over 300 volunteers to spread this message. One student, one classroom, one field trip at a time, the Laguna Foundation inspires the next generation of stewards.


Through hands-on restoration and conservation science, we also plant native seeds across the watershed, reviving ecosystems and renewing community connection. Thanks to the collective efforts of our field staff, educators, volunteers, and you, endangered plant species are returning, hundreds of acres have been restored, and an inclusive, intergenerational community has grown united for a thriving Laguna. We need your support to continue this vital work.

Thank you for considering a gift today,

Anne Morkill
