Community Accomplishes So Much! 2016 isn’t over yet – and already we’re excited to share and celebrate our achievements. Siskiyou Land Trust is made up of members and volunteers who do great work – giving of their time, energy, creativity and resources – to make things happen on the land and in community. SLT is blessed with amazing people who embrace the roles of lead stewards, special event volunteers, board members, committee members, field trip leaders, community partners and event organizers. This organization is also supported by an ever-growing foundation of members and donors who support our work. As we transition into shorter days and longer nights, we’re taking some time to reflect on all that has been achieved this year through community and partnership.
