The Open Space Partnership Program began with a mission to connect businesses, organizations, and communities through meaningful opportunities to care for the land. This initiative provides participants with a chance to engage in hands-on service projects that promote environmental stewardship while fostering team bonding and earning recognition for their contributions.
Where We Are Now
The program is thriving, with six active partners: Qualcomm, KBI Biopharma, Cemex, New Vista High School, Emerson-Micro Motion, and Corden Pharma. Together, these partners dedicated an impressive 376 service hours in 2024, making a significant impact on the environment and the community.
2024 Highlights
This year, partners contributed to a range of impactful projects, including:
- Clearing ditches to enhance agricultural land.
- Cutting regenerative growth and creating slash piles to improve forest health.
- Maintaining trails and trail structures to ensure safe and enjoyable access for visitors.
- Controlling noxious weeds to protect native ecosystems.
Get Involved
We are always looking to grow the program with new partners who share our passion for stewardship. To make sure the program is the right fit, we encourage groups to participate in a custom volunteer work project before committing. Once part of the program, we ask partners to contribute 24–45 service hours annually, depending on their group size.
Join us in making a difference! Together, we can steward the land, strengthen community bonds, and create a lasting impact.
