STORIES FROM THE WILDLANDS CONSERVANCY
Eastern Sierra Nevada Region Expansion
Wildlands established its first nature preserve in the Eastern Sierra Nevada back in 2015. This initial acquisition protected 150 acres of land at the confluence of the West Walker and LIttle Walker River in northern Mono County from being subdivided and developed into multiple seasonal vacation homes. In August 2023, The Wildlands Conservancy expanded this property by acquiring the neighboring 2,333-acre Bently Family Junction Ranch, expanding Two Rivers Preserve to 2,483 acres.
Grant Funding Approved for Public Access Improvements at Seawood Cape Preserve
Earlier this year, Wildlands proposed the Seawood Cape Preserve Public Access Improvements Planning Project to the California State Coastal Conservancy — a government organization and long-time partner that awards grants for projects that restore and protect the California coast, expand public access to it, and enhance its resilience to climate change. We are pleased to announce the proposed Planning Project for Seawood Cape Preserve has been approved!
