Tuleyome was founded in 2002 as a volunteer advocacy-oriented nonprofit conservation organization. Our mission is: "Tuleyome engages in advocacy and active stewardship with diverse communities to conserve, enhance, restore, and enjoy the lands in the region."

At Tuleyome we “live” our mission every day: we preserve and restore wild habitat, we build and repair trails, we educate the public about local conservation and environmental issues, we engage young people through our youth program, we demonstrate a good “land stewardship” ethic by maintaining the easements and properties we own under the scope of our land trust component, and we run campaigns that have a long lasting positive effect on the region.

HOME PLACE ADVENTURES: At Tuleyome, we believe that everyone deserves access to the outdoors. Our nationally award-winning program, Home Place Adventures, encourages people of all ages to become more connected to and involved with the natural world that surrounds us.

YOUTH BOOT BANK: The Tuleyome Boot Bank is a youth hiking boot lending program that provides high quality hiking boots to local youth at no cost for the duration of their physical growth. The Boot Bank, operated out of an antique milk truck by Davis Boy Scout Troop 111, will appear at scheduled community locations.

CERTIFIED CALIFORNIA NATURALIST PROGRAM: Do you love nature? Do you want to learn more about local plant, animal and insect species? Do you want to learn about volunteer opportunities related to the natural environment? Tuleyome is teaming up with the University of California’s extension program to teach members of the public how to become Certified California Naturalists! No advanced degrees or previous naturalist experience is required.

BERRYESSA SNOW MOUNTAIN TRAILS INITIATIVE: The goal is to enhance public access to the Berryessa Snow Mountain region through a well-designed, constructed, and ecologically sensitive regional trails system; and, sustainable maintenance program.
