STORIES FROM THE WILDLANDS CONSERVANCY
Partnering for Conservation: OBA at Jenner Headlands and Seawood Cape
The Wildlands Conservancy believes deeply in connecting people with nature in transformative ways. That’s why our longstanding partnership with Outward Bound Adventures (OBA) is one we’re proud to celebrate.
Since 1962, OBA has been a national leader in outdoor education, dedicated to diversifying the outdoors and equipping BIPOC youth with the skills, confidence, and perspective to become conservation leaders. This summer, we were honored to welcome OBA back to our Sonoma and North Coast preserves.
Connecting People to Northern California’s Wildlands: Conservation and Access Updates
There’s no greater joy than stepping into the wild, where nature’s beauty and tranquility can be felt in every breath. From the towering redwoods to the rugged coastlines, our preserves offer a sanctuary for both people and wildlife alike. 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.
Meet Wildlands Seawood Cape Preserve Stewards
Living on-site, Seawood Cape Preserve Stewards are able to provide continuous protection and oversight of the land, with work days often focused on activities to improve habitat conditions. A day in the life of our stewards may include thinning of conifers to promote healthy and biodiverse forests, eradicating nonnative plants, such as Himalayan blackberry, jubata grass, Portuguese heath, and English and cape ivies, or removing trash and illegally dumped items.
Grant Funding Approved for Public Access Improvements at Seawood Cape Preserve
Earlier this year, Wildlands proposed the Seawood Cape Preserve Public Access Improvements Planning Project to the California State Coastal Conservancy — a government organization and long-time partner that awards grants for projects that restore and protect the California coast, expand public access to it, and enhance its resilience to climate change. We are pleased to announce the proposed Planning Project for Seawood Cape Preserve has been approved!
