Late spring on SRT’s preserves is a season of renewal and promise. The hills are green, wildflowers abound, and the creeks are flowing after winter rains. In the quiet hours of early evening, the songs of birds mingle with the hum of insects, a reminder that the lands we protect are vibrant and ever-changing.
Celebrating Community Across the Seasons
This community has shared many memorable moments together over the past year. From the warmth and camaraderie of Evening Under the Oaks in October to the festive cheer at The Holiday Market in December, these gatherings celebrate the lands we protect and the people who cherish them.
Conservation Partnerships and Outdoor Discovery
Early this year, SRT team members connected with agricultural innovators at the World Ag Expo, deepening partnerships that support conservation across working lands. This spring brought the joy of discovery at the Lewis Hill Wildflower Walk where walkers of all ages marveled at the inspiring views and unique ecosystem.
Growing Stewardship and Leadership
In practical and inspiring ways, SRT’s impact continues to grow. Dry Creek Nursery Grand Re-Opening showcased the capacity to cultivate both native plants and community connections. The Workforce Internship Program brought new energy to the preserves while mentoring the next generation of conservation leaders. And with four new Board members, SRT is excited about how the lands we conserve will benefit from thoughtful stewardship now and into the future.
The Flying Dragon Groundbreaking
SRT is also celebrating the Flying Dragon Groundbreaking, a milestone that embodies a vision for resilient landscapes, thriving communities, and a future where conservation and human well-being go hand in hand.
Continuing the Mission
Each story in this issue reflects an interwoven branch of SRT’s mission: connecting people with land, cultivating knowledge and stewardship, and protecting the natural and agricultural heritage of California’s heartland. Thank you for being part of this journey.
With gratitude,
Logan
