Dear Eastern Sierra Friends,

Great News for Members!!

 
This year, the ESLT is thrilled to partner with the Mountain Light Gallery in Bishop to offer ESLT members a special opportunity. When you renew your membership at a higher level, you will receive a coupon to purchase items at a 20% discount. This offer is good for the purchase of any item in the Gallery, including prints, books, t-shirts, or notecards.
 

When you receive your renewal letter and return it with a higher contribution than the previous year, we will send you a coupon that you can take to the Gallery for all your shopping needs!

 
Take advantage of this great opportunity to grace your walls or bookshelves with images of the Eastern Sierra or other inspiring landscapes from around the world. This is a one time offer, so don't miss the chance for this special opportunity.

The Mountain Light Gallery features the work of renowned nature photographer, Galen Rowell. Galen traveled the world to capture incredible images of nature, mountain climbing, and other cultures. He had a special love of the Eastern Sierra, which is reflected in the many gorgeous photographs he shot there. Galen's work has a natural connection to the Eastern Sierra Land Trust because he cared deeply about the future of his beloved home landscapes and worked to help preserve them.

SAVE THE DATE!!
 
The ESLT and landowner Bill Bramlette will host "Celebrating Conservation" at the Benton Hot Springs Ranch on Saturday, May 10th, 3-5pm. Join us for a festive afternoon under Montgomery Peak to commemorate the preservation of 900 acres of working ranchland, wetlands, and wildlife habitat. Refreshments, music, guest speakers, and a walking tour of the property will highlight the easement's rich biological, historical, and agricultural values.
Thank you for your continuing concern for the Eastern Sierra and support of our efforts to preserve its working farms, scenic vistas, and open spaces for future generations.
