A huge thank you to Friends of Big Bear Valley for more than 25 years of dedication to protecting Moon Camp, the beloved home of Jackie and Shadow. 💚🦅

Thank you to the 25,000+ donors whose generosity made this conservation victory possible, and a special thank you to Anna and Greg Brockman for their extraordinary gift of more than $5.5 million, which helped push the campaign across the finish line.

Because of all of you, Jackie and Shadow's home will remain protected for generations to come. 🌲❤️
