After a frenetic summer packing all our work into a very narrow window, we are ready for a much slower pace. With fall in the air, I’m filled with gratitude for our team here at Whitebark, whose members have poured their hearts into their work this year. And I’m humbled by the support that residents of the Eastern Sierra have given to our little organization.
Despite the intense season, we didn’t miss a beat, helped mercifully by a reprieve of drought conditions. We accomplished everything we had planned, and launched some new programs that we are excited to share. It wasn’t easy, but because our partners rallied around us, and our team has real grit, it was possible.
