Finally, this Thanksgiving Month, we would like to give thanks for all of you, our members, supporters, donors, partners, and friends, who have helped our organization begin this new stage of our service to the land and people of the Eastern Sierra and Great Basin region as Sierra Forever. Thank you, and a very happy start to your Holiday Season!
