STORIES FROM THE WILDLANDS CONSERVANCY
Opening New Lands to the Public, the Right Way
At The Wildlands Conservancy, we believe the best way to protect nature is to ensure people can experience it — with love, thoughtfulness, and a commitment to its long-term care.
This belief guides everything we do as we work to provide well-managed, free public access to the lands we’ve conserved. That’s why we’re preparing to open four new preserves to the public: Estero Americano Coast Preserve, Eel River Canyon Preserve, Rana Creek Preserve, and Enchanted Rocks Preserve. These extraordinary places — rugged canyons, desert mesas, quiet estuaries, and sublime interior ecosystems — have long been off-limits, but soon they’ll be open to all. As we prepare these landscapes for free access, we’re doing it the right way: with community, care, and stewardship.

There’s no greater joy than stepping into the wild, where nature’s beauty and tranquility can be felt in every breath.

We’re passionate about making these natural treasures accessible to all, and our work across the Northern California is a testament to that commitment. Whether it’s improving wildlife habitats, advancing exciting new trails, or developing plans for public access, we’re thrilled to share the latest updates from our ongoing conservation efforts.
