Big Sur Land Trust

Stewardship - Big Sur Land Trust (BSLT) expends funds and initiates community partnerships to be effective stewards of both the BSLT's protected acreage as well as other important public and private lands. BSLT provides a high standard of stewardship for our ecological, cultural and scenic features that define the character of our properties and contribute to our natural and cultural heritage. Stewardship includes care of the facilities and amenities that ensure a high quality visitor experience; the standard of care balances ecological health and human use of the land. Approximately 100,000 people benefited.

Planning and Conservation - Investigation and assessment of properties for possible acquisition such as Basin Ranch, Hiss Parcel, and a percentage interest of Martin Dunes. Examples of investigation and assessment include but are not limited to title and legal review, minerals assessment, habitat assessment, legal document drafting, and other research and transaction negotiation activities. Work towards the restoration of habitats, floodplains and other environmentally sensitive landscapes including Carr lake and the Carmel River.
