One powerful way to address climate change and reduce carbon in the atmosphere is through effective stewardship and restoration of the land. (In fact, the UN recognizes land use and management as the one of the top three best strategies for addressing climate change.) As part of our restoration efforts, we invite you to help us plant 10,000 trees and plants!

Watch the SeriesWelcome to this 16-part tour of Black Diamond Mines Regional Preserve. In the late 1800s, these hills bustled with industry. There were some 900 miners—some as young as eight years old—and miles and miles of underground tunnels. It was the largest coal mining operation in California history. And nature largely has restored itself here to spectacular beauty and ecological health. Black Diamond Mines has so many different stories—cultural, resource. But what it really is is a story about ecological restoration.
