“We relocated from Southern California to this area because we love and appreciate the natural beauty, the changing seasons, and the local community. We support ESLT’s important work for many of those same reasons.”

“I enthusiastically support efforts which I believe to be in the good interests of long-term community and environment. ESLT is certainly one of these.”

“It came to where we wanted to do something to protect our land. The thing I like about ESLT is that I believe in private property rights, and working with them allows me to still own my property while preserving it.”

“I enjoy volunteering because I meet new people and new artists. I appreciate how ESLT supports the artists by holding shows and I find it rewarding to help raise money to support our mission.”

“It’s important to preserve and maintain the history of the area and the legacy of the cattle. The only way to protect the land is to not put houses on it.”

“We support the work of ESLT because we like what they do: they find opportunities to get land protected that is special to all of us.”

“I think it is absolutely terrific that there is a local land trust in the Eastern Sierra. It is so important to work with local youth, to teach them about the land they live on and local organizations like ESLT.”

“We believe it is particularly important to preserve open space in the Eastern Sierra for future generations. People come from all over to renew themselves by hiking, fishing, or riding here.”
