Eastern Sierra Land Trust’s
10th Annual Lands & Legacy

At Lands & Legacy Benefit Dinner and Paddle Raise, you will have a chance to protect what you care about most. The evening will feature several engaging speakers sharing our stories of success and inspiration. And, not to be missed, is our lively Paddle Raise: a way for you to champion causes that will have a major impact on the future of our region. With donation opportunities ranging from $10,000 to $50, the signature Paddle Raise will offer you the chance to lift your paddle high and make a gift in support of the conservation projects that you care about most.

Following is a peek at the Paddle Raise “menu” we’ll be serving up with the first choice as seen above! We can’t wait to celebrate with you this weekend and walk with you on some of the land you have conserved forever. For more on the land tours for Lands & Legacy guests, please click here.

$10,000 Hope & Resiliency in Nature

Some people spend their whole lives wondering what it means to be a hero. At the Lands & Legacy Paddle Raise, you will have a chance to save precious land and change the lives of wildlife, ranchers, and those in our community‚Ķ and become a conservation hero…


$5,000 Home on the Range

Imagine migrating for thousands of miles, only to find that the wetlands you rely on have been lost.
Consider what it means to have worked the lands your great-grandparents did, only to face selling it for development when you really want to conserve them. These families and birds, can’t wait.

You have the power to shape the legacy of the landscapes you love by helping to conserve critical lands before they are lost, forever.


$2,500 – Mule Deer

Mule deer face danger, drought, and hunger every day. Your gift keeps their migration corridors safe and restores their fire-damaged habitat so future fawns have a home to roam.


$1,000 Butterflies and Bees

Let’s keep the Eastern Sierra blooming with beautiful native plants! With your gift, you’ll be helping build pollinator gardens from Walker to Lone Pine that give butterflies and bees a place to thrive.


$750 Sage Grouse

Once numbering in the millions, sage-grouse are now a rare sight due to habitat loss. Your gift makes sure that working ranchlands provide safe homes for this iconic bird.


$500 – Weed Warriors

Once a property is conserved, it is our responsibility to make sure that its important values are protected forever. Your gift puts volunteers and staff into action pulling invasive weeds and restoring the places you love.


$250 – Sunflower Sprouts

By teaching local kids about the magic of nature, they will learn to care about our land and water just like you do. Your gift puts smiles on their faces and inspiration in their hearts.
