Winter 2022-2023 NewsletterI’m excited to be authoring the first of what I hope will be many columns in this space. My name is Mike Chamberlain, and I’m the new Executive Director. In future columns, I’ll spend WAY less time talking about myself. However, it seems appropriate to do so for my first.

For over a decade the Ventana Wilderness Alliance has led the grassroots effort to protect the wilderness qualities of the Ventana Region, along the Big Sur Coast. VWA volunteers also contribute thousands of hours each year maintaining the public trails in the Ventana back country. I support their conservation work and endorse the Ventana Trails Forever campaign.
