The mission of the Big Sur Land Trust is to inspire love of the land and conservation of our treasured landscapes.
Big Sur Land Trusts mission is to inspire love of land across generations, conservation of our unique Monterey County landscapes, and access to outdoor experiences for all. Since 1978, we have conserved over 40,000 acres throughout the county.
Planning and Conservation-Since 1978, we have conserved over 40,000 acres throughout Monterey County. In 2020, hundreds of people found peace of mind surrounded by beauty on socially distanced hikes at Big Sur Land Trust properties. In April, we conserved 83.5 magnificent acres at Patriarch Ridge in Carmel Valley. Our Carr Lake park projects native garden continues to thrive at the site in Salinas thanks to volunteer gardeners of all ages who participated in planting days while staying masked and socially distanced. Our outdoor youth programs shifted from hosting in-person camps to providing hundreds of kids experiences with nature through videos and activity kits. In addition BSLT opened trails at Patriarch Ridge and continued diligently managing invasive species throughout our conserved properties.
Community - Funds are utilized to facilitate local community projects on the central coast relating to protection and conservation of significant lands. In addition, local conservation sites are being utilized to promote healthy communities by providing meaningful outdoor experiences for local youth and other groups in order to enhance the connection of people with the land. Around 100,000 people benefited.
Stewardship - Big Sur Land Trust (BSLT) expends funds and initiates community partnerships to be effective stewards of both the BSLT's protected acreage as well as other important public and private lands. BSLT provides a high standard of stewardship for our ecological, cultural and scenic features that define the character of our properties and contribute to our natural and cultural heritage. Stewardship includes care of the facilities and amenities that ensure a high quality visitor experience; the standard of care balances ecological health and human use of the land. Around 100,000 people benefited.
