The California Landscape Stewardship network
The California Landscape Stewardship Network (CLSN) is a statewide network formed to support those doing collaborative, landscape-scale stewardship across the state.
We are dedicated to mainstreaming partner-based approaches, strengthening stewardship policy and funding opportunities, and better integrating equity and justice into this work so that we can "do more, better, together" for California’s landscapes and communities.
We promote knowledge exchange and innovation among practitioners, funders, policymakers, Tribal groups, and local communities to increase the pace, scale, and quality of stewardship to sustain the places that are vital to our collective well-being.
Our approach
Our largest and most pressing challenges—climate change, social and environmental justice, and political shifts, among others —blur the lines between ecology and culture and between the past and the present. California’s landscapes are complex, interwoven assemblages of all the things we hold dear.
The California Landscape Stewardship Network focuses on how stewardship happens just as much as what it’s trying to accomplish. That is why we bring together those doing landscape stewardship through collaborative approaches to help create a California where everyone can see their role in caring for and sustaining the places that are vital to our collective well-being.
Together, we help create a California where…
- we seek deep understanding and bold collaboration as we think, plan, and act beyond our individual boundaries.
- we can work at a pace, scale, and quality that meets and even exceeds our most pressing challenges.
the values of empathy, humility, and inclusivity drive how we make decisions around our cherished places for current and future generations.
