IRS990/Desc0Portal Ridge Wildlife Preserve: We acquired 410 acres of land near the California Poppy Preserve and adjacent to the existing PRWP through a mitigation project. Another 50 acres was added through a separate project. Additionally, we obtained a 292-acre conservation easement for the Alkali Lily. We effectively monitored and patrolled all 3,320 acres within the preserve project area and ensured that no illegal poaching occurred. Trails for hikers and equestrians public access were maintained and created. Trash such as barbed wire fencing, and the remains of a homestead cabin were removed. We also invested in new fencing, gates, solar panels, water pumps, cameras, etc. in response to the Lake Fire that burned much of the Preserve in August of 2020.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0Fremont-Kramer Conservation Area: We did not acquire any new lands this year so our project area for desert tortoise and Mojave ground squirrel conservation remains at approximately 4,420 acres and 105 properties (some combined from previous years). All 105 parcels were monitored by foot or by aerial drone and a comprehensive report was produced. 2020 was the final year of our three-year restoration grant with the California state parks OHMVR division. As part of this effort, we contracted with the San Bernardino County Sheriffs Dept and hired a restoration crew from the Southwest Conservation Corps. We applied for another grant in 2020 to continue this work and were awarded an additional $282,142 to monitor and restore illegal OHV routes from 1/1/21 until 12/31/23. We continued to work on comprehensive desert tortoise recovery efforts while partnering with state and federal agencies and expert tortoise biologists. We also hosted a volunteer restoration event at one of our biological hot spots for the tortoise in this region, effectively disguising a decommissioned road through high density habitat.
IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy3Grp/Desc0Puma Canyon Ecological Reserve: We hosted a virtual monarch butterfly event and pollinator garden activities. Existing hiking trails were maintained, and new trails were scouted on upcoming land acquisitions. Volunteers picked up trash and removed invasive weeds like mustard and mistletoe. Every parcel was monitored by drone. We have cultivated a core group of local volunteers who regularly patrol and steward this 355-acre preserve.
