In 2020, in the midst of unprecedented challenges for our communities, more than 100 donors made the decision to support conservation efforts surrounding the Bloom Ranch in Tuolumne County. These quick, collective actions meant that in a short time we were able to raise the final funds needed to begin the work of conservation. While the work took longer than expected, we are grateful to the responsiveness of this community that enabled the Bloom family to confidently deflect the development pressures that threatened their land and livelihood.
We expect to complete conservation on the Bloom Ranch in late 2023 or early 2024. If you contributed to this project, we will be in touch in 2024 about a celebration on the Ranch!
The Bloom Ranch is a small and scenic paradise situated in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountain range in Tuolumne County. Threatened by encroaching residential development, the Ranch’s peaceful restorative views and important natural resources that keep our growing communities healthy were at risk. But thanks to you and this incredible community of supporters, we were able to start conservation work to conserve the land and the critical natural resources and scenic vistas found there, including:
“With all of the development closing in around our land, there has been a noticeable shift in the neighborhood as this region becomes more like a commuter city. And when we lose our connection to the land, we lose our connection to each other, and our sense of community. Ultimately, when the land is lost, it is something that can never be replaced.”
You met our urgent request for help to conserve the Bloom Ranch, and more than 100 private donors joined you. Every gift mattered in this effort, and we could not be at this point without your support.
Thank you for being part of this story and ensuring this scenic and productive landscape will be able to serve its best purpose for generations to come. Stay tuned as we complete the work towards conserving the Bloom Ranch and keeping this piece of the Sierra Foothills for the people, livestock, and wildlife that depend on it.
