The Conservancy works alongside the Los Angeles County Fire Department, Avalon City Fire, Southern California Edison, elected officials and other agencies to support a safer, more fire-resilient future for Catalina. In addition, Conservancy rangers serve as the eyes and ears for the interior of the Island, reporting any fires on the landscape to Los Angeles County Fire.

During National Park Week and on this Earth Day, we are reminded of the powerful connections formed when people engage with nature, whether through their first camping trip, hiking to amazing vistas, catching a glimpse of a rare plant or animal, or stargazing beneath clear skies rarely seen in cities. Across the country, more than 400 national parks preserve natural and cultural heritage, inviting communities to explore and appreciate the outdoors.

Catalina Island’s native plants do more than just look pretty, they create a system for a fire-resilient landscape. No plant is fireproof, but native plants serve as the best line of defense against invasive grasses, prolonged drought and rising temperatures.
