Half a Century of Preserving Land: Save Mount Diablo’s 50th Anniversary

Save Mount Diablo’s 50th anniversary is on December 7, 2021. We will be celebrating this very special anniversary from December 7, 2021 to December 7, 2022, with memorable events and activities throughout the year.

We’ll offer 50th anniversary hikes and outings, and we’ll invite our communities to a fabulous 50th anniversary celebration in September of 2022. Our 50th anniversary logo is based on one of Save Mount Diablo’s earliest artistic renderings from the early 1970s; it captures the spirit of the time, and honors the past while inspiring the future.
