Mission

Major Activities

Activity 2

Educational opportunities and community outreach environmental education: the conservancy's environmental education program is founded on the belief that in order to protect and preserve our natural environment, we first need to understand it and appreciate it. To this end, over 30 prefessionally trained naturalist-docents lead schools and other youth groups on guided walks throughout the extensive network of trails in the reserve. Students can touch, smell and see first-hand the rich diversity of animal and plant life at the lagoon, and the consequences - both favorable and unfavorable - that our choices and actions have on the environment. The conservancy also offers regular docent-led walks to the general public. Community outreach: as part of its outreach activities in the community, the conservancy offers volunteer work parties, allowing community members to participate hands-on in the conservation and restoration of the san elijo lagoon. Work sites vary throughout the reserve, and activities typically include habitat restoration, trail maintenance, and trash cleanup. All participants receive in-depth information on the reserve, the watershed, and ways to protect them, including water conservation, drought-resistant landscaping, etc. The conservancy also publishes a quarterly newsletter and several monthly e-newsletters to keep the community informed about developments in the reserve.
