In museum news, the conservation programs developed between our architectural partners at Jones and Jones and the tribe’s Sustainability team continue to garner attention. In addition to our U.S. Green Building .png) Council LEED® Silver certification and Sustainable Innovation Award for water conservation programs, the California Nature Art Museum recognized the Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Indians last month at its annual Wilderness Spirit Awards for the outstanding sustainability practices implemented both here at the Santa Ynez Chumash Museum and Cultural Center and throughout Chumash Enterprises. We are honored to be recognized for our efforts as we continue this important tradition of environmental stewardship for the Santa Ynez Chumash community. ≈ ≈ ≈ ___________________________________________________________
