ABOUT NUESTRA TIERRA

Our mission is simple yet transformative: ensure historically and deliberately excluded communities have access to the outdoors, and that their history, values, and voices are authentically reflected in public land and water decisions. Guided by values of community-rootedness, equity and justice, and leadership development, we have built a model where those most impacted by environmental injustice lead the way locally and nationally.

In just five years, Nuestra Tierra Conservation Project (Nuestra Tierra) has grown from a grassroots idea into a nationally recognized leader in community-driven conservation. Founded by friends and organizers who saw that access to nature was too often denied to frontline communities, Nuestra Tierra has redefined what conservation means: not just protecting landscapes, but protecting legacies.
