Overview
The John Muir Trail Foundation (JMTF) is a fiscally sponsored project of Earth Island Institute. This grant will support the JMTF’s wilderness restoration program, which runs across the John Muir Trail (JMT) in the heart of the California snowpack. The area includes the full length of the JMT, 213.7 miles from Yosemite Valley to the summit of Mt. Whitney, as well as the lateral access trails extending approximately 20 miles east to west across the region. The restoration program’s goals are to (a) successfully restore and manage the JMT’s most highly impacted wilderness, habitat, watershed, and riparian terrain; (b) provide master plans for visitor logistics at major trailheads; and (c) design long-term management strategies incorporating satellite-based field devices and a common IT platform for effective cross-regional management of the JMT backcountry.

for PGM ONE programming and strategic planning
A fiscally sponsored project of Earth Island Institute, PGM ONE envisions a world that centers, values, uplifts, and empowers those who are most impacted by environmental harm and climate change — and in particular Black, Indigenous, and people of color/the global majority. The project, which engages with advocates from across the field of land and water conservation, is offering online programming and an annual summit to share, learn, collaborate, heal, celebrate, build community, find support, and deepen practice to uproot the systems of oppression and mobilize to transform individuals, movements, and society.

A project of Earth Island Institute, PGM ONE envisions a world that centers, values, uplifts, and empowers those who are most impacted by environmental harm and climate change — and in particular black, indigenous, and people of color/the global majority. The project, which engages with advocates from across the field of land and water conservation, is conducting a strategic planning exercise and launching an evaluation of its impact. It is also working to offer webinars and online conversations this year in place of its annual summit to share, learn, collaborate, heal, celebrate, build community, find support, and deepen practice to uproot the systems of oppression and mobilize to transform individuals, movements, and society.
