Lands & Legacy: Denim & Diamonds
Boots on the Ground for Conservation
What a great night!
Our Lands & Legacy celebration sparkled with denim, diamonds, and the incredible generosity of this community. Together, we raised over $100,000 to protect the lands that make the Eastern Sierra so special.
We are deeply grateful to:
- Mammoth Mountain and its wonderful staff.
- Our generous sponsors who made the evening possible.
- Everyone who donated and bid on the fabulous live and silent auction items.
- And of course, each and every one of you who joined us to celebrate, support, and share in the fun!
The energy in the room was unforgettable, from friendly competition in the live auction to the laughter and cheers that carried us through the evening.
Guests were moved by the video of Montgomery Creek Ranch, an inspiring glimpse into one of ESLT’s conservation easements.
The movie brought to life our Guiding Principles:
Permanence – ensuring these working lands remain protected for generations.
Stewardship – honoring their ecological significance.
Partnership – building with landowners and the community. Community Benefit – supporting local economies.
Voluntary Action – empowering landowners to safeguard what they love most.
