Program accomplishments

  • See Schedule OPreserve Stewardship: Managing the largest nonprofit nature preserve system on the West Coast, comprising 25 preserves encompassing nearly 210,000 acres of diverse landscapes that are held in fee. The Conservancy believes that access to nature is a birthright and preserves, which host more than 1.5 million visitors annually, are open to the public free of charge for passive recreation, including camping, hiking, picnicking, birding, field studies, and more.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.
    Expenses $7,772,988 · grants $379,755
  • Providing outdoor environmental education: Since 1998, the Conservancy has been Southern California's nonprofit leader in providing free outdoor education programs to more than 1.3 million youth from underserved and economically disadvantaged communities. An educational journey begins the moment a child connects with nature, exploring the outdoors and beginning to wonder and think far beyond the textbook. After a quality outdoor learning experience, children return home with a new understanding and indelible memory of their place in the world.Annually, more than 80,000 youth participate in educational opportunities at a Conservancy preserve, from self-guided exploration through interactive interpretive signage to naturalist-guided field trips and family programs

  • See Schedule OLand Conservation and Rewilding: Since its founding in 1995, The Wildlands Conservancy has protected more than 2.3 million acres of public and private lands through advocacy and acquisition, safeguarding ecological connectivity and preserving vast natural landscapes across the American West. Owning land in fee allows the Conservancy to pursue its deepest conservation vision: free outdoor education and public access, active restoration of native habitats, re-wilding species, and stewarding these lands in ways that allow forests, grasslands, and other ecosystems to regenerate naturally. This approach not only supports biodiversity but also strengthens the ability of these landscapes to store carbon, improve watershed health, and be resilient in the face of a rapidly changing climate.
