A NEW GATEWAY TO NATURE THE CAMPAIGN TO SAVE HARVEY RANCH
Few projects are as important to the future of East Bay conservation as the Campaign to Save Harvey Ranch. John Muir Land Trust is seeking to raise $4 million by the end of 2022 to acquire this essential 143-acre property adjacent to Saint Mary’s College of California in Moraga. If successful, East Bay residents will gain exciting new access to 15,000 acres of pristine wilderness nearby, while needed protection is added to one of our most vital wildlife refuges. Nature lovers and critters will all celebrate if we succeed.
