Chaparral Lands Conservancy

Description

The Chaparral Lands Conservancy was founded to fill several empty niches in the field of natural land management in California. The Conservancy is specifically focused on the special management needs of wildlife and plants dependent on California’s unique chaparral biome and interdependent ecosystems.

The Conservancy develops habitat restoration and enhancement projects to benefit the rarest of the rare habitats and species - endangered species in critical need of direct intervention to prevent extinction and assist with recovery. The Conservancy works to protect any rare shrubland region vegetation or critically endangered species in need of assistance irrespective of their charismatic appeal - Seemingly obscure and sometimes homely plants and animals are the glue that binds California’s web of life. The Conservancy is also dedicated to research to improve our knowledge of the conservation needs of target habitats and species and is committed to improving the public’s understanding of the incredible nature and diversity of life of shrublands in their own backyards.
