Restoring Catalina. Protecting its Future.
Catalina Island is like nowhere else on Earth. More than 60 rare species call it home—and they’re counting on us.
We’re launching our most comprehensive conservation effort yet: uniting wildfire prevention, invasive species removal and habitat restoration into a coordinated, science-based initiative. Together, we can safeguard Catalina’s future along with its people, wildlife and wildlands.
Your Gift Makes the Difference
The Catalina Island Conservancy protects 88% of the Island. That’s 42,000 acres. Your donation directly supports:
- Hands-on education as L.A. County’s largest outdoor classroom
- Responsible recreation and public access to nature for all ages
- Protection of threatened plants and rare animals found nowhere else
- Wildfire prevention and island restoration
Ways to Give
There are so many ways to contribute. Give today to help keep Catalina beautiful and accessible and to support our many conservation, education and recreation programs.
