On Friday, July 24, 2026, the Friends of Big Bear Valley (FOBBV) announced that the $10 million needed to save Moon Camp had been secured. After meeting the fundraising goal, the San Bernardino Mountains Land Trust (SBMLT) can now protect the 63 acres of forest land inhabited by bald eagle couple, Jackie and Shadow, luxury housing development plans.
Thanks to a generous $5.5 million donation from Anna and Greg Brockman, the SBMLT has additional funds to maintain the land and cover legal fees and taxes after purchasing the property. The FOBBV and SBMLT have been working to protect the Moon Camp land from development for 25 years. With the $10 million donation goal met, the land and its wildlife will be preserved and protected in perpetuity.
