Tuolumne River Trust
Green Pro Bono matched Tuolumne River Trust with a legal team to assist them with a meadow restoration project on tribal land.
Attorney Matches
To meet their land stewardship goals in collaboration with a local tribe, Tuolumne River Trust (TRT) was matched with a team of pro bono environmental attoreys to draft a Memorandum of Understanding that outlines the cooperative effort between itself and the Me-Wuk Indian Tribe on a meadow restoration project.
Green Pro Bono was great! They worked efficiently to match us with pro bono legal assistance and the attorney who helped us did a great job helping us and answering our questions. The process was quick and painless.

Environmental Purpose and Activities
