Each month from now through November, you'll find us sharing now and then about how every dollar donated to OC can make a difference.

In the month of June, all funds donated to OC go toward supporting our landscape rehydration and playa stewardship work across the entire region -- like the launch of our new virtual Landscape Rehydration Course!

Our goal is $450 to cover the cost of course design! Want to help? Donate here: www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=23P687FX6CYTJ

Thinking about all of our partners and communities who have been affected by the wildfires in the Great Plains and surrounding regions. One of the things we find really encouraging is how communities come together in times like this. If we know one thing about the people of the Great Plains, it’s that they are resilient ❤️
