Campaign for Jalama
1,000 Acre Center for Regenerative Agriculture
Restoring Our Ecosystem through Agriculture
As of April 20, 2021, we have completed Phase 1 of this campaign and have acquired the Jalama Canyon Ranch.
Together we have protected this property in perpetuity; and set the possibility of something even greater in motion...
This truly evolutionary project is aimed at the food and fiber systems, land management, ecosystem health, and human health. At White Buffalo Land Trust, we believe change begins on the ground and we believe our local solutions lead to regional and global impact through shared data, models, and linking practices to outcomes.
