We preserve and restore the environment on Catalina, promoting and modeling ecologically sustainable communities to create a healthier future for this Island and our Earth.
The Conservancy provides formal, classroom lessons and non-formal outdoor experiences designed to deliver nature-based engagement and experiential learning.
As the oldest and largest private land trust in the state of California, the Catalina Island Conservancy opens its wildlands for the public to enjoy in many ways.
Operation Protect Catalina Island is a 30-year commitment to making the Island safer and more resilient by reducing wildfire risk, safeguarding freshwater and restoring native plants. Through this long-term effort, the Conservancy will help protect the people, livelihoods and wildlife that depend on one of the most unique places on Earth.
