Together We Are a Restorative Force
Together, we have the opportunity to bring a different perspective of optimism to some of the most daunting challenges we face today.
At our 1,000-acre Center for Regenerative Agriculture at Jalama Canyon Ranch, we are practicing, promoting, and developing systems of regenerative agriculture for local, regional, and global impact through our hands-on land stewardship, data collection and monitoring, and education and training programs. We are reimagining a resilient and nourishing food system.
We don’t have to settle for sustaining depleted resources. We can do better than that. We have the ability, the capacity, and the skills to implement these practices and be genuine positive stewards of this planet. Check out this short film to see our relentless optimism in practice.
Mission
White Buffalo Land Trust practices, promotes, and develops systems of regenerative agriculture for local, regional, and global impact.

Our law firm is proud to support White Buffalo Land Trust’s work to make our world a better place. White Buffalo’s leadership is shifting our local agricultural and food systems while furthering climate goals, increasing biodiversity, restoring the water cycle, and improving soil quality and human health. Few organizations are true innovators, creating knowledge and a demonstration project that’s brand new. White Buffalo Land Trust is one of them.
Help Build the Climate-Appropriate Plant Nursery
White Buffalo Land Trust (WBLT) is seeking $20,000 to expand its nursery of native and climate-appropriate plants, a cornerstone of its mission to restore ecosystems, increase biodiversity, and foster community education. The nursery at Jalama Canyon Ranch supports key watershed restoration projects and enhances biodiversity in working landscapes.
“For too long, many people have assumed that agriculture cannot help address the biodiversity crisis. White Buffalo Land Trust is demonstrating that we can have our almonds and native pollinators as well as a model for a diverse farm that meets the needs of humans and the rest of nature. They are leading the way in showing how agriculture on the Central Coast needs to evolve so that all species can thrive,” says Steve Windhager, Ph.D., Executive Director, Santa Barbara Botanic Garden.
