Within its boundaries, the national forest is checkered with private property. All of this produces the constant pressure of encroaching development - but also the opportunity for acquisition or maintenance of land for preservation. The Foundation's primary mission is to acquire private land to extend, protect and restore the integrity of this vital natural refuge for all Southern California. Private contributions will be used by the Foundation to qualify for federal and state matching funds for strategic land purchases and conservation agreements to preserve private lands. The Foundation has assembled a prestigious body of advisors including the Zoological Society of San Diego, the U.S. Forest Service, Sweetwater Authority, eminent scientists, large landowners, the Audubon Society, Mt. Laguna Observatory, and San Diego County Fly Fishers.
All contributions are tax deductible.
