If you've been following Jackie and Shadow, you've probably heard people mention Save Moon Camp.
Moon Camp is a 63-acre undeveloped lakeside habitat in Big Bear, California, located less than a mile from Jackie and Shadow's nest. It serves as one of their primary foraging areas, where they hunt for food for themselves and their growing family.
For more than 25 years, people have fought to keep this land from becoming a luxury housing development and marina. Now, there is one final opportunity to protect it forever.
Instead of developing the property, the landowner has agreed to give the San Bernardino Mountains Land Trust the chance to purchase it. To make that happen, $10 million must be raised by July 31, 2026.
As of today, the campaign has raised $3,821,212 (38%), leaving about $6.18 million still needed.
This isn't just about Jackie and Shadow. Protecting Moon Camp also preserves habitat for the San Bernardino flying squirrel, rare native plants, and countless other species that depend on one of Southern California's most biologically diverse ecosystems.
The campaign has become a tribute to Sandy Steers, founder of Friends of Big Bear Valley, who devoted decades to protecting this land and helped negotiate this opportunity shortly before her passing in February.
If you've ever watched Jackie and Shadow on the nest cam, this is one of the most meaningful ways you can help ensure future generations of Big Bear's eagles continue to have a place to thrive.
