🌎 UPDATE 🌏 A generous donor has agreed to match #TIRNup donations up to $35,000 – contribute today to double your impact!
There is one day left to celebrate and support Turtle Island’s Giving Tuesday campaign, #TIRNup! Our end of year celebration is going strong and we are so grateful for the support we’ve received thus far. But we still have plans to make and goals to reach in 2025, so we need your support! This Giving Tuesday, we’re excited to launch our #TIRNup campaign—a call to action to champion a blue-green planet where all life can thrive and “turn up” your impact this holiday season. Your support is essential in making this vision a reality! Your donation to the #TIRNup campaign fuels the incredible work we do at Turtle Island Restoration Network. As we reflect on 2024, we’re proud to share some of the year’s highlights, each a testament to what your generosity makes possible.
- This year alone, we’ve captured over 24,800 action alert submissions.
- SPAWN’s Sediment Load Reduction Project concludes: Concrete stalls, staging platforms, parking areas, and leftover cement fill were removed from the abandoned Redi-Mix concrete plant on Black Mountain Ranch. This mass removal has resulted in recycling about 500 cubic yards of cement and opening up roughly 0.6 acres of the cement plant staging area. This has opened up the floodplain riparian corridor along 350 linear feet of Lagunitas Creek, allowing water to supply a native landscape, recharge, filter through the soil, and benefit riparian habitat.
- Gulf of Mexico Beach Cleanups: this past year, we welcomed 3,802 participants at our beach cleanups on the Texas Coast, where we removed 6,041 pounds of trash, 354 balloons, 53,527 cigarette butts, 695 microplastics, and 4,274 nurdles. Every little bit helps keep our beautiful Texas Coastline clean, but we are immensely proud of how our staff and volunteers got their hands dirty and made such incredible progress.
- San Geronimo Tributaries see record breaking number of spawning salmon: As the spawning season for critically endangered Central Coast California Coho Salmon winded down this past winter, we observed record numbers of coho have been in the headwater streams of San Geronimo Watershed. This is incredibly exciting for us, as we have been prioritizing protecting the coho salmon species for decades.
Help us keep the momentum going! By donating today, you’ll ensure that these achievements continue to grow in 2025 and beyond.
