The Conservancy has established the largest nonprofit nature preserve system on the West Coast, comprising 25 preserves encompassing nearly 210,000 acres of diverse 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 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. 1356285 Providing outdoor, environmental education: Since 1995, the Conservancy has been Southern California's nonprofit leader in providing free outdoor education programs to more than 1.3 million underserved youth. An educational journey begins the moment a child steps outdoors and begins 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 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 programs focus on providing visiting families and individuals with educational opportunities. 981871 Land Acquisition and Land Conservation: Since our founding in 1995, The Wildlands Conservancy has protected more than 2.3 million acres of public and private lands, safeguarding ecological connectivity and preserving vast natural landscapes across the American West. Through careful management of our growing system of 25 nature preserves-spanning nearly 210,000 acres-we actively resore native habitats, rewild species, and steward 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 reslient in the face of a rapidly changing climate. The Conservancy also advocates for expanded public access to nature, including efforts to complete the 110-mile Santa Ana River Trail and Parkway and the 320-mile Great Redwood Trail. 9972381 true true false true false false true false false false true false false false false true true false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false true false true true false true false false false true false false false false true 72 0 true 93 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 13 13 true false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true true false CA X X Jennifer Francis 9097978507 39611 Oak Glen Road Unit 12 Oak Glen CA 92399 David Myers President 60.00 0.00 X 138301 0 59760 Frazier Haney Executive Dir. 65.00 0.00 X 141471 0 56391 Jennifer Malone Secretary 50.00 0.00 X 91877 0 14582 Jennifer Francis CFO 50.00 0.00 X 95925 0 4867 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 467574 135600 2 false true false AEA Remodeling 13571 Grassland St Yucaipa CA 92399 Construction 442927 Rustic Built LLC 20416 Clay Pigeon Ct Bend OR 97702 Construction 591264 Pride Trenching Inc 9396 Oak Creek Rd Cherry Valley CA 92223 Infrastructure Projects 684650 PIP Printing 4093 Market St Riverside CA 92501 Printing 216170 Corner Bit 10700 Hearst Rd Willits CA 95490 Road Work 226681 5 863438 61102931 18678293 61966369 Land Lease 110000 1566905 1566905 1566905 127171 127171 0 1331282 1331282 0 1004366 1177200 1027583 1049130 -23217 128070 104853 104853 0 0 0 Forestry Projects 900099 277545 277545 Other Income 900099 106646 106646 Sale of Livestock 900099 486020 486020 25614 25614 895825 65992405 4026036 0 0 0 0 467574 467574 0 3424481 3119452 94990 210039 78007 62406 11701 3900 394614 315691 59192 19731 308479 246783 46272 15424 0 54197 54197 36107 36107 71000 71000 0 0 341791 323842 17949 0 706557 415057 71547 219953 0 0 0 0 0 0 645972 532639 113333 0 0 457610 457610 Repairs/Maintenance/Utilities 1992869 1992869 Depreciation 1109196 888735 161337 59124 Property Tax 962963 962963 Travel/Lodging/Fuel 309842 248260 45067 16515 280877 280877 11642136 9972381 1107120 562635 222406 179145 256290 48965 247449 1882284 861437 954984 0 0 1470244 1844614 0 60734 58424 248680917 15807470 166006456 232873447 816559 0 0 0 0 11017989 4840342 180959564 242682205 851143 1031821 19050 1010744 2000000 10850000 15050000 11720193 19092565 X 165601912 219620531 3637459 3969109 169239371 223589640 180959564 242682205 54350269 X false true X true false X 751262 4045449 19412620 4582042 60951567 89742940 0 0 751262 4045449 19412620 4582042 60951567 89742940 0 89742940 33036 7789 79541 213421 103954 437741 0 4863663 4881497 5844579 5106973 746350 21443062 111623743 0.80400 0.56040 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED false false false true false false false false true 75984 false false 75984 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.
