The Escondido Creek Conservancy

TECC helps save 100 acres in Elfin Forest Reserve

Our primary source of funding for our work comes from private donors such as you.

Conservation of these natural lands is the key to preserving San Elijo Lagoon as the jewel of Southern California’s remaining coastal wetlands.

The Reserve currently offers approximately 13 miles of hiking, mountain biking, equestrian trails, primitive picnic areas, and scenic mountain viewing points...
