WELCOME
The Santa Cruz Mountains Stewardship Network is a collaboration of twenty-five organizations engaged in land stewardship in the Santa Cruz Mountains of California. The mission of the SCMSN is to help cultivate a resilient, vibrant region where human and natural systems thrive for generations to come.
The SCMSN is a vehicle that helps member organizations collaborate and coordinate on land stewardship and to think about stewardship at a regional scale.
The members of the SCMSN feel that those who love and value this important region share a rare opportunity and responsibility to work together to protect this unique ecological and cultural heritage.
