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.
