Where We Work

The Eastern Sierra

The diverse wildlands of the Eastern Sierra are a national treasure, known and loved by many as a vast, undeveloped paradise of grand vistas with endless ridges to wander, peaks to climb, sly trout to catch and unending silence to enjoy. This "land of little rain," nestled between the majestic Sierra Nevada and the enigmatic White-Inyo Mountains, is home to over 35 percent of California's native species and some of the most spectacular scenery in the West. The endangered Sierra Nevada bighorn sheep, Owens Valley pupfish and over 200 endemic plants are found nowhere else in the world. In order to ensure that the Eastside's spectacular and biologically-rich wildlands are preserved for future generations of plants, animals and people, it is critical that we build strong and lasting support for this wild, remote side of the state.
