Thank you, Firefighters!

As the amazing teams of firefighters and support crews continue to contain the Willow Fire, we want to thank all of the brave people on the ground and in the air. For the third time in five years, Big Sur Land Trust’s Arroyo Seco Ranch was recently called into service. Check out this video showing helicopter crews at the ranch picking up Hotshots before taking them into the fire zone.

We are also grateful to all of our donors for supporting Big Sur Land Trust and the lands you love. By giving so generously, you are keeping conserved lands resilient so that places like Arroyo Seco Ranch remain ready to serve the community during emergencies.
