We are grateful for the support of these funders of Ecological Restoration work at Crossroads at Big Creek during 2020 - 2024, for which Landscapes of Place’s Ecological Restoration Plan was a donated match. This ecological restoration support and work was an important factor in siting the Land Restoration School Inaugural Year at Crossroads at Big Creek.
