How Your Donation Helps
In this time when government funding for the environment has all but disappeared, Channel Islands Restoration urgently relies on the support of members to continue our mission to restore habitat and promote environmental education. For less than
$5 a month, you can become a member of Channel Islands Restoration and support our vital work.
Until now, CIR has been able to do our work with the support of less than 200 individual donors, but many of the agencies we depend on for funding are having their budgets slashed. Right now, CIR needs to depend on individuals like you to keep our habitat healthy and to introduce students to nature while providing educational opportunities for adults too.
Your contribution will help protect the habitat of native animals and plants on the mainland and the Channel Islands, including the island fox, island spotted skunk, island night lizard, and many more species that occur only along the Central Coast. Your gift is also vital to the removal of invasive plant species like yellow star thistle, giant reed, ice plant, and other non-native species that can damage sensitive ecosystems.
Since 2002, we've worked on more than 100 project sites throughout the Channel Islands and our local mainland with the help of over 10,000 individual volunteers (nearly 3,400 of which are kids from schools that would not otherwise have access to field trips or environmental education). With so much support from our community, we're able to stretch your dollar to the farthest possible extent.
In addition to supporting habitat restoration, your donation will give you access to the tiers of donor benefits, which includes invitations to private events, merchandise, virtual talks, and of course our sincere gratitude.
