We’re proud to announce a meaningful milestone: 1,720 acres of ancestral land along Tularcitos Creek have been returned to the Esselen Tribe of Monterey County. This deeply meaningful return reflects our commitment to true conservation through restoring land to its original stewards. With support from the California Wildlife Conservation Board and State Coastal Conservancy, this ecologically and culturally significant landscape will now be stewarded by the Esselen Tribe using traditional knowledge and practices that honor both their heritage and the natural world.
