The Holidays embody the spirit of giving and togetherness. Coupled with the recent Solstice and our symbolic movement toward the light, this is also the perfect moment for reflection on the past and hope for the future.  While these past few months have certainly posed challenges for Quail Springs, we are highly thankful for the returning health of our canyon, the poignant lessons learned and the path that lies ahead. 
 
In the spirit of the season, we wish to take a moment to express the depths of our gratitude.  Simply stated, the continuation of our vital work and mission would not exist without your displayed assistance.  Instead, the magnitude and diversification of support continues to inspire us and strengthens our commitment to creating meaningful change.
 
This path is joyfully shared, as the revival of Quail Springs has truly been a community effort.
While we truly value all forms of support, we are particularly thankful for the monetary contributions placed toward our revival efforts.  This investment has allowed for the stabilization of our core infrastructure and the ability to still call this beautiful canyon our home.  In addition to the repair of our roads and water systems, we have constructed a new compost toilet system and replanted a small garden and food forest.  The latter is both symbolic of Quail Springs’ renewal and an example of our continued capacity and goal to convert monetary support into natural capital.

 
Since our land serves as an outdoor classroom, your gracious support of its renewal also allows for the continuation of our renowned educational programs.  We embrace the reciprocity this creates, as we are able to share the respect and timely, hands-on skills needed to live more aligned with Nature’s wisdom.  Lastly, by successfully addressing our most pressing needs, we now have the space to simply listen to the land’s desires and be appreciative of what we have.  This revealed abundance includes a growing community of supporters that values and honors our dedicated work to create a more sustainable future.  For this, we are humbled and blessed.
 
 
While Quail Springs moves forward with honey in our hearts, re-growing our Learning Oasis still requires much work and support.  If you would like to contribute to our revival efforts and mission, please consider a year end contribution.  Thank you!
