Founded in 1995, The Wildlands Conservancy is dedicated to preserving the beauty and biodiversity of the earth and to providing programs so that children may know the wonder and joy of nature. To this end, we protect land and waters across the West including rivers, mountains, deserts and coastlines — more than 200,000 acres to date. We open these 25 preserves to the public, free of charge, for passive recreation including camping, hiking, picnicking, birding, children’s outdoor education, and more — fostering a love and respect for life in all of its magnificent forms.

The Wildlands Conservancy, a California 501(c)(3) nonprofit public benefit corporation, is dedicated to preserving the beauty and biodiversity of the earth and to providing programs so that children may know the wonder and joy of nature. All of our operations are made possible through private funding, including generous support from visitors like you.
