Catalina Island Conservancy

The Catalina Island Conservancy was established in 1972 as a 501(3) non-profit organization dedicated to the protection and restoration of Santa Catalina Island. The Conservancy owns and stewards 42,179 acres or 88 percent of the Island. Its mission is to be a responsible steward of its lands through a balance of conservation, education and recreation.

Santa Catalina Island, one of California’s eight Channel Islands, is located 20 miles off the southern California coast. This 48,000-acre Island supports a number of endemic plant and animal species.
