We've been busy.
From 2023 to 2025, we focused on resource management, landowner support, and community engagement.
Inside, you'll find highlights of our successful partnerships and projects, including:
Helping local farmers and ranchers with solar well installations and replacing nearly four miles of fire-damaged fencing.
Partnering with local schools on a "Fish in the Classroom" project, where students learned about conservation by raising trout.
