Since 2001, people like you have protected vital lands, ranches, and wildlife in Eastern California

For over two decades, conservation supporters and local community members have trusted the Eastern Sierra Land Trust to protect the vital lands that are home to people and wildlife. Today, 25 years later, we are celebrating nearly 24,000 acres that are protected forever because people like you decided to make a difference. From the founding members of ESLT, who began with a vision to protect a mule deer wildlife corridor in Swall Meadows, to the people every day who decide to donate their time, resources, and energy, everyone can make a difference.

The forward-thinking legacy in motion

Today, our conservation strategy is informed by science and opportunity. Protected public lands are abundant, but only as resilient and healthy as the private lands connecting them. These private lands often serve as wildlife corridors. Many of them also allow cleaner water to flow and local agriculture to thrive. Whatever home means to you, Eastern Sierra Land Trust has helped protect the places you love for 25 years. All homes require ongoing care and stewardship, especially during times of change.

Your gift fuels the forward-thinking legacy that has defined ESLT since our founding in 2001.
