Collaborative Community Dashboard
True to our mission to help organizations collaborate on critical challenges that no single agency can tackle on their own, LegacyWorks Santa Barbara facilitated a public-private partnership and launched a countywide COVID-19 Data Dashboard.
Cabo Pulmo and the Opportunity to Thrive
For over two decades, almost as long as Cabo Pulmo National Park has existed, I have had the privilege of visiting and working with the community of Cabo Pulmo in Southern Baja California, Mexico, first with international conservation organizations like the World Wildlife Fund, then as a concerned citizen, and now with LegacyWorks Group.
Harnessing Markets to Achieve Conservation
if we only work with landowners who are willing and able to donate value, and on easements and restoration that we can fund via grants and gifts, we are working with a very small percentage of the overall ecosystem. This is where markets come in.
Why Migrations Matter

Solidarity

Responding Locally to a Global Crisis
Two years ago a debris flow swept through my hometown of Santa Barbara and changed everything. The loss of life, property and security were hard to fathom.
