Channel Islands Restoration (map)

An introduction to this magnificent, critically-endangered species including a brief overview of the California Condor Recovery Program. This presentation will include natural history details about the critically-endangered California condor from their emergence during the Pleistocene through their decline and their eventual status as “extinct in the wild”. The Condor Recovery Program, which has successfully reintroduced California Condors into the wild, will be discussed including captive breeding efforts, how the wild flock is managed, and ongoing threats.

Elings Park Transformation Project

Elings Park Transformation Project

Beginning in the fall of 2023 and running for three years, this restoration project concentrates on California-native plants within a one-acre plot and compares the abundance, diversity, and composition of plant and animal life before and after the transformation. To achieve this work, we’re seeking volunteers to help clear invasive plant species, prepare the site for plantings, plant our projected 1,400 plants, and monitor the progress along the way through varied scientific methods.
