Growing Together
Dear Friends,
As spring unfolds across the preserves and private lands conserved by Sequoia Riverlands Trust, the landscape is alive with renewal. This year’s Lewis Hill Wildflower Walk was a vivid reminder of nature’s resilience and beauty. Visitors enjoyed sweeping vistas, unique geology, birdwatching, kite flying, and close encounters with the rare Striped Adobe Lily—a testament to the importance of protecting these landscapes for future generations.
At SRT, we are continually investing in that future. Our SEED Program exemplifies this commitment by uniting education organizations to get kids out into nature, linking classroom learning with outdoor education in and around Tulare County. The SEED Program recently hosted a successful gathering focused on regenerative agriculture and soil health, bringing together local farmers, educators, and conservation partners to share knowledge and practices that benefit both the land and our communities.
This season also brings reflection. We honor the memory of Carole Combs, a passionate advocate for conservation whose dedication shaped so much of the work we continue today. Her legacy lives on in the lands she helped protect and the people she inspired.
Meanwhile, at Dry Creek Nursery, our team is working diligently to grow climate-resilient native plants that support restoration projects throughout the region. Under the leadership of our nursery manager, Ashley Robinson, the nursery aims to supply native, drought-tolerant, and pollinator-supporting plants for both ecological restoration and sustainable landscaping purposes. Through the generous support of the Sierra San Joaquin Jobs First program and the Central Valley Community Foundation, we are expanding both our nursery infrastructure and staff capacity to help meet the needs of our region.
Your support makes all this possible. With your continued partnership, we will keep protecting and restoring the lands at the heart of California, with so much gratitude to the many generations who have stewarded this land before us. Thank you for walking with us on this journey.
With gratitude,
Logan Robertson Huecker, PhD
Executive Director
