Nuestra Tierra, Nuestro Futuro: 5 Year Anniversary Gala
?️ Buy Tickets: nuestra-tierra.org/pages/gala

Nuestra Tierra Conservation Project is excited to host our very first gala, Nuestra Tierra, Nuestro Futuro, celebrating five years of community, culture, and conservation. This evening is about honoring the people, stories, places, and milestones that have shaped Nuestra Tierra since day one.  

As we celebrate five years of community-driven conservation, we cannot ignore the dire urgency of this moment. The current administration is threatening to strip away hard-won protections for public lands — opening them up to private interests and erasing the histories, rights, and access of the very communities Nuestra Tierra was created to uplift. This is not just about conservation; it’s about justice, about sovereignty, and about ensuring our children still have wild places to roam. Your support of Nuestra Tierra, Nuestro Futuro is not only a celebration —  it is a frontline act of resistance.

Join us Friday, September 26th to defend what is sacred and keep our lands in the hands of the people. Celebrate with an evening full of joy, dancing, connection, and movement-building as we envision the next five years of community-centered conservation.

Come kick off our Laguna Stewards season in a special way at Colgan Creek– just in time for Latino Conservation Week! Join us for a fun and rewarding day of hands-on stewardship as we care for our local waterways. Starting at Taylor Mountain and flowing through Santa Rosa to Roseland and then to the Laguna de Santa Rosa, Colgan Creek has gone through many stages of restoration. Learn more and become a part of your local creek’s story!

Together, we'll protect the creek and the precious ecosystems downstream by picking up trash. Remember: if it's in the streets, it ends up in the creeks. Your effort will make a real, visible impact. Whether you're new to ecological restoration or an experienced volunteer, everyone is welcome—of all ages and abilities. Let’s come together to nurture this beautiful creek and continue its journey toward restoration. We can’t wait to share this experience with you!

PLEASE NOTE: All ages are welcome! No experience is necessary; tools and training are provided. In partnership with the City of Santa Rosa and generous support from the American Water Charitable Foundation and California American Water.
