We’re grateful to have been selected for a grant from the REI Cooperative Action Fund. The REI Fund brings together the collective strength of the outdoor community to support organizations that advance inclusivity, access, and belonging outside. Both the REI Fund and Big Sur Land Trust believe that time outside and our connection to nature is fundamental for social, cultural, economic, and individual health and wellbeing of all people. We’d also like to thank our local REI store in Marina for nominating us and for volunteering at last year’s Race for Open Space! #REICooperativeActionFund #REIFund #OutdoorEquity #Conservation #Outdoors #MontereyCounty

Our thanks also go to Ashley Abenoja-Bocek, community affairs manager at U.S. Bank, for seeing how our work creates lasting change to make our communities stronger and more vibrant.
