2026 Guardians of Nature Benefit

Honoring 

Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District 

Friday, September 25th

 6:00 - 9:00 p.m. in Palo Alto

We invite you to join the Sierra Club Loma Prieta Chapter for an inspiring evening at our 2026 Guardians of Nature Benefit. This year, we are proud to honor the Board of Directors of the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District (Midpen) for their visionary leadership in land conservation and public access.

For more than half a century, Midpen has worked tirelessly to preserve a regional greenbelt, protecting the natural beauty and ecological integrity of our mountains, foothills, and baylands. Over the years, these preserves have become among the most cherished destinations for our Sierra Club hiking community, offering a direct connection to wildlands within minutes of our homes.

As you enjoy the company of Loma Prieta Chapter friends, we invite you to experience delightful vegetarian cuisine and wines, perfect for toasting Midpen’s extraordinary environmental achievements. We look forward to celebrating with you.
