$1.5 Million Lead Gift Launches Campaign for Center for Land-Based Learning’s New State Headquarters
The Center for Land-Based Learning announced a lead gift of $1.5 million from the Yocha Dehe Wintun Nation at a groundbreaking celebration this week for the Center's new site in Woodland, CA.
The gift officially launches the Center for Land-Based Learning’s $4 million Growing Our Future Campaign to build a new statewide headquarters and expand its programs and services. In recognition of this generous gift, the Center for Land-Based Learning will name its new administrative building the Yocha Dehe Wintun Nation Farm House.
The groundbreaking, which coincided with the Center for Land-Based Learning's 25th anniversary, took place on part of the original Patwin Tribal Land. The site, a historic 50-acre farm in Woodland known as The Maples, is owned by Clark Pacific, which is providing the Center with substantial support, including a no-cost, 25-year+ lease for major portions of the property and buildings.
"We are extremely grateful to the Yocha Dehe Wintun Nation for their remarkable and inspiring gift," said Center for Land-Based Learning Executive Director Mary Kimball. "Their donation, in conjunction with the generous support of Clark Pacific, gives us the capacity to train, support, and resource stewards as we look forward to the next 25 years."
