The Conservancy has established the largest nonprofit nature preserve system on the West Coast, comprising 23 preserves encompassing nearly 200,000 acres of diverse mountain, valley, desert, river and coastal landscapes. Ecological restoration and species rewilding are an emphasis in the Conservancy's approach to land management. Since the Conservancy believes that access to nature is a birthright, preserves are open to the public free of charge for passive recreation, including camping, hiking, picnicking, birding, field studies, and more. The Conservany's motto "Behold the Beauty" is also the name of the program that seeks to engage visitors and supporters to be inspired by these magnificent landscapes. The Conservancy employs a staff of friendly and knowledgeable rangers and stewards, who engage with visitors while stewarding the land and maintaining outdoor education sites. Each year they work side-by-side with hundreds of volunteers who log thousands of hours restoring and maintaining these unique and important properties. 1222184 Providing outdoor, environmental education: For more than two decades, the Conservancy has been Southern California's nonprofit leader in providing free outdoor education programs to underserved youth. Since the inception of city life, people have sought refuge from its commotion by retreating to nature and the great outdoors. An educational journey begins the moment a child steps outdoors and begins to wonder and think far beyond the textbook. Nature holds a mirror to our human sympathies - reflecting the kind, just, and loving qualities that elevate the human mind. After a quality outdoor learning experience, children return home with a new understanding and indelible memory of their place in the world. From day-long trips to week-long science school, more than 1.3 million children participated in an outdoor education experience provided by the Conservany since 1995. Annually, more than 60,000 youth participate in educational opportunities at a Conservancy preserve, from self-guided exploratation through interactive interpetive signage to naturalist-guided field trips and programs. Since the pandemic, new preserve-based programs focus on providing visiting families and individuals with educational opportunities. 714054 Land Acquisition and Land Conservation: TWC has acquired more than 750,000 acres for conservation using a blend of private and public funding, and still owns and manages nearly 200,000 acres as nature preserves. The preserves serve as outposts for land-based advocacy to support larger conservation efforts including the 154,000-acre Sand to Snow National Monument, named after the Conservancy's Sand to Snow Wilderness Interface Project, and the 1.6 million-arce Mojave Trails National Monument, the second largest national monument in the lower 48 states, of which more than 560,000 acres were acquired by the Conservancy with private funding, and was donated to the American people for conservation. The Conservancy is also the primary nonprofit organization advocating on behalf of the Santa Ana River Trail to complete the vision of a continuous 110-mile trail from the San Bernardino Mountains to the Pacific Ocean, which passes through the urban core of Orange, Riverside, and San Bernardino counties and is a passport to nature for millions of urban Southern California residents. 8198773 true true false true false false true false false false true false false true false true true false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false true true false true false false false true false false false false true 52 0 true 91 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 11 11 true false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true true false CA X Jennifer Francis 9097978507 39611 Oak Glen Road Unit 12 Oak Glen CA 92399 David Myers President 60.00 0.00 X 144723 0 57168 Frazier Haney Executive Dir. 65.00 0.00 X 138858 0 27331 Jennifer Malone Secretary 50.00 0.00 X 98853 0 10950 Jennifer Francis Controller/CFO 50.00 0.00 X 90842 0 1879 Emily Gelbaum Director 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Daniel Gelbaum Director 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Carl Pope Director 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 April Sall Director 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Joan Taylor Director 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Charles Thomas Director 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Eric Helmle Director 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Chris Carillo Director 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Matt Ritter Director 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 473276 97328 2 false true false AEA Remodeling 13571 Grassland St Yucaipa CA 92399 Construction 414953 Rustic Built LLC 20416 Clay Pigeon Ct Bend OR 97702 Construction 1045311 WRA Environmental Consultants 2169-G E Francisco Blvd San Rafael CA 94901 Consulting 197495 PIP Printing 4093 Market St Riverside CA 92501 Printing 215138 Corner Bit 10700 Hearst Rd Willits CA 95490 Road Work 142848 7 434687 4147355 334521 4582042 Land Lease 110000 1253506 1253506 1253506 213646 213646 0 1076595 1076595 0 25595 14494707 25820 10385580 -225 4109127 4108902 4108902 0 0 0 Extension Pmt Income 900099 233333 233333 Other Income 900099 238298 238298 Sale of Livestock 900099 368908 368908 157307 157307 997846 12232537 7650495 0 0 0 0 473276 473276 0 3143728 2803302 105445 234981 70711 54447 11314 4950 372601 286903 59616 26082 289719 211443 57996 20280 0 86523 86523 38524 38524 96000 96000 0 0 361391 361391 0 571409 300271 85167 185971 0 0 0 0 0 0 436043 436043 0 1063162 820240 172951 69971 509533 509533 Repairs/Maintenance/Utilities 954530 954530 Property Tax 780712 780712 Travel/Lodging/Fuel 350334 270286 56991 23057 Contributions 169694 169694 57455 57455 9825345 8198773 1061280 565292 4247223 222406 246434 256290 163027 247449 2690202 861437 0 0 1479756 1470244 0 35970 60734 180774817 14768361 170500338 166006456 879024 816559 0 0 0 3955665 11017989 184197639 180959564 812632 851143 15270 19050 16499184 10850000 17327086 11720193 X 165668900 165601912 1201653 3637459 166870553 169239371 184197639 180959564 2407192 -38374 X false true X true false X 10671009 751262 4045449 19412620 4582042 39462382 0 0 10671009 751262 4045449 19412620 4582042 39462382 0 39462382 40119 33036 7789 79541 213421 373906 0 9890097 4863663 4881497 5844579 5106973 30586809 70423097 0.56040 0.55500 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED false false false true false false false false true 106147 false false 106147 false false Part II-B, Line 1i - Other Activities Description The Conservancy hired two firms which provided consultation and advocacy in support of funding projects through multiple funding sources, as well as regional conservation investment strategies.
