Annual Impact Report for 2021 – 2022: Acknowledging Regeneration
Pepperwood's Strategic Plan 2020-2025 has two-years-worth of momentum behind it. In this issue of the Life+Landscapes fall Impact Report, we investigate our progress on the initiatives set forth in that plan. But, this fall also marks the 5th anniversary of the Tubbs Fire, and so we're also reflecting on the regeneration we've found in the wake of that tragic fire. Learn about the impact of your support as it's translated through the science and stewardship here at Pepperwood. Together we can all take action to sustain the planet that sustains us.

In this report, learn about the impact YOU helped to achieve by supporting us in sustaining the planet that sustains us.
