2025 was a big year for us, and we're excited to start working to make 2026 even bigger! This year, we worked directly with landowners and partners to move conservation from planning to implementation—supporting projects across the county and delivering measurable on-the-ground results.

With voter-approved funding now in place, we also launched new pilot work, including support for Flat Fire recovery, while laying the groundwork for expanded programs ahead.

Thank you to the landowners, partners, and community members who made this work possible. Stay tuned for what's to come in the new year!
