People and wildlife need the same things —places to find food, safe shelter, community to find a mate, and a peaceful life to raise their young. Habitat fragmentation due to development is one of the greatest threats to wildlife survival. This extensive loss of wildlife corridors threatens the survival of many species and increases wildlife conflicts with people and pets.
That’s where you come in. With your donation to our Land Fund, the Conservancy can connect habitat corridors in North County by saving three key properties. The White Atterbury (San Elijo Hills), Elfin Acres (Elfin Forest) and Kesting Dairy (Harmony Grove) properties are for saleand with your help we can purchase them and save them. These properties serve as critical wildlife corridor connections.
Donate now to our Land Fund to help the Conservancy work towards protecting these properties before they are lost forever.
Thank you for supporting the Conservancy’s Land Fund!
All Hands In Campaign
The Escondido Creek Conservancy Is All Hands In
Supporting the people that make conservation happen.
With the support of our wonderful donors like you, The Escondido Creek Conservancy has had great success leveraging small private donations into millions of dollars in grants that have resulted in the protection of thousands of acres of conservation land in North San Diego County.
When you donate to the operations of the Conservancy, to the All Hands In campaign, your gift directly supports:
- Land acquisition, so the mission of the Conservancy is realized.
- Compliance with Land Trust Alliance standards and practices, so the Conservancy meets or exceeds national standards and that our lands are fully protected in perpetuity.
- Strategic leadership, so the Conservancy is an effective conservation leader.
- Effective communications and outreach, so Conservancy supporters and the public learn about the Conservancy’s work and are called to action.
Education Fund Fundraising Campaign
Give the gift of nature to children; help us cultivate a passionate new generation who values nature as much as you do!
The Escondido Creek Conservancy’s education team brings local students and adults out into nature. The benefits of outdoor education are numerous, and exposing students to nature helps them understand why it is so important for us to protect natural spaces.
We have an exciting opportunity to develop stronger, more sustainable support for the Conservancy’s environmental and outdoor education programs—with an eventual goal to serve every school within the watershed. We are building a unique regional approach to environmental learning so we can expand our capacity and meet the demand for more nature-based learning in our local communities.
Please join us in our outdoor education efforts by donating, sharing our story, and helping us raise the funds needed to support outdoor education for many years to come!
