SANTA BARBARA COUNTY, CA—Late this fall, the Land Trust for Santa Barbara County received a $100,000 match opportunity from a consortium of anonymous donors for any new dollars the organization raises. “The donors behind this match are members of our community who are asking us to go over and above for land conservation in Santa Barbara County. We are incredibly inspired by their generosity and vision. We are also hopeful that others will hear their call to do more to help the Land Trust’s efforts,” says Carrie Mullen, Director of Development at the Land Trust for Santa Barbara County. 

“What is at risk is clear,” says Meredith Hendricks, Executive Director at the Land Trust, “Climate changes and drought place pressure on limited natural resources and food systems while worsening uneven access to nature. We need actual, measurable steps to mitigate these impacts. The Land Trust offers these, and its why our work is so incredibly important right now.”
