Stories of TOGETHER Bay Area
News & announcements from our coalition
CLN 2.0 Progress Report Arrives in December
This report reflects the work of local conservation organizations who have worked tirelessly to conserve new lands. It contains scientific analysis and interconnections to state goals and regional planning processes. And it contains a lot of hope. Here are a few reasons why.
Right Relations 2024 Begins!
Announcing the start of our expanded, three-cohort program that supports alliances with local Native American communities through learning, action, and community.
TBA Member Spotlight: Carrington Ranch
WRA, Inc. and Sonoma County Regional Parks are developing a plan that balances public recreation with preservation of cultural heritage, and conservation and management of coastal ecosystems for the new Carrington Coast Ranch Park and Open Space Preserve.
Calling All Bay Area Conservation Data Compilers
Update the BPAD to support local land conservation efforts in service of regional and state goals.
Member Spotlight: Tending the Forest with Fire
It takes a village and a lot of leadership to come together for a prescribed fire event. Audubon Canyon Ranch, Sonoma Land Trust, Tribal EcoRestoration Alliance, Laguna de Santa Rosa Foundation, Pepperwood, and CAL FIRE were represented on the Thomas Creek Ranch burn.
Year in Review 2023
We are now a coalition of 78 member organizations in all 10 counties. Collaborating with our members and partners, we have evolved into a respected resource, effective champion, and change catalyst for the region.
Member Spotlight: Building Climate Resilience at Bivista Ridge Ranch
Because almost the entirety of the Bivista Ridge Ranch lies within the Critical Linkage Area identified by the Conservation Lands Network, protecting this property is vital for the resilience of local biodiversity to a changing climate.
Member Spotlight: LandPaths Community Forestry Project
Our small group of women and nonbinary participants worked over three days and on a small 1.5 acre area, seemingly minuscule on a global scale, but community-based grassroots projects add up to create a larger imprint.
Strategic Direction 2024–2028
TOGETHER Bay Area is excited to share our coalition’s new Strategic Direction. In it we recommit to our mission and vision, and we elucidate our principles and values. And with input from our members over the past year, we identified five priorities that will serve as our north stars.
Right Relations Expands!
We’re excited to open applications for the next cohort to catalyze collective action for healthy lands, people, and communities and build the region’s capacity to strengthen Tribal sovereignty.
