Mission and programs · 2022
Mission
The Wildlands Conservancy's dual mission is to preserve the beauty and biodiversity of the earth and to provide programs so that children may know the wonder and joy of nature.
-
Preserve Management: Stewarding nature preserves that are open to over 1,500,000 visitors annually. The Conservancy has established the largest nonprofit nature preserve system on the West Coast, comprising 23 preserves encompassing nearly 200,000 acres of diverse mountain, valley, desert, river and coastal landscapes. Ecological restoration and species rewilding are an emphasis in the Conservancy's approach to land management. Since the Conservancy believes that access to nature is a birthright, preserves are open to the public free of charge for passive recreation, including camping, hiking, picnicking, birding, field studies, and more. The Conservany's motto "Behold the Beauty" is also the name of the program that seeks to engage visitors and supporters to be inspired by these magnificent landscapes. The Conservancy employs a staff of friendly and knowledgeable rangers and stewards, who engage with visitors while stewarding the land and maintaining outdoor education sites. Each year they work side-by-side with hundreds of volunteers who log thousands of hours restoring and maintaining these unique and important properties.
Expenses $6,262,535

Providing outdoor, environmental education: For more than two decades, the Conservancy has been Southern California's nonprofit leader in providing free outdoor education programs to underserved youth. Since the inception of city life, people have sought refuge from its commotion by retreating to nature and the great outdoors. An educational journey begins the moment a child steps outdoors and begins to wonder and think far beyond the textbook. Nature holds a mirror to our human sympathies - reflecting the kind, just, and loving qualities that elevate the human mind. After a quality outdoor learning experience, children return home with a new understanding and indelible memory of their place in the world. From day-long trips to week-long science school, more than 1.3 million children participated in an outdoor education experience provided by the Conservany since 1995. Annually, more than 60,000 youth participate in educational opportunities at a Conservancy preserve, from self-guided exploratation through interactive interpetive signage to naturalist-guided field trips and programs. Since the pandemic, new preserve-based programs focus on providing visiting families and individuals with educational opportunities.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
