As community members of the Great Basin on the Eastside of the Sierra Nevada, we are in kinship with seven vegetation zones and diverse ecosystems. We exist as part of the biological community and strive to maintain a connected relationship based in reciprocity and reverence.

This mural is a representation of our more than human community and an acknowledgement of our commitment to stewardship and protection of our relatives. Human community members may sponsor a native species to be added to this landscape. Sponsoring a species is an investment toward awareness, relationship and support of diversity and the value of inclusion.

List of available species:

Lupine, CA Poppy, Paintbrush, Bitterbrush, Desert Peach, Mule Ear, Taninger, Raven, Raptor, Butterfly, Spider, King Snake, Lizard, Toad/Frog, Coyote, Owl, Fox, Rabbit, Mule Deer, Squirrel.

If you would like a species that is not on this list please contact us via the information below and propose the species.

Sponsorship donations include supporting a fee for the artist, as well as a donation to C5 Studios.
