Dear Friends

The Conservancy, with a bold mission to preserve and restore large areas of natural land on the Palos Verdes Peninsula, was built by people with big ideas and remarkable resolve. Conserving over 1,600 acres of land and connecting people to nature has allowed our organization to grow over the past 28 years from a big dream to a wonderful reality. We now have dedicated staff fortified by an increasing volunteer base to undertake the ongoing requirements of land restoration, land care, nature interpretation and trail needs. We are pleased to share this 2015 annual report that shines a spotlight on our volunteers and celebrates the many hands, heads and hearts that support local conservation and education programs. Volunteers and generous financial contributors are vital to our success. This year we have added two new groups: a President’s Advisory Council and the Golden Poppy Heritage Circle.

Our commitment to preserve and restore these lands continues, and the needs are deepening.

We are also faced with a growing body of evidence that suggests declining participation by children and youth in nature-based outdoor activities. education and Now, more than ever, we need to engage people of all ages and inspire them to form a connection to nature. enjoyment of all.

“In establishing the White Point Nature Preserve, the Conservancy has created a unique historic and ecological gem. Historic, because it documents the varied history of the use of this area, it preserves an enlightening piece of military history, and recreates a coastal habitat that existed before extensive human intervention. Ecological, because it is a home for native plant species and for our increasingly threatened urban wildlife.” Crystal Guzman Peter Niemiec, Chair, White Point Community Group 79 2015 Contributors Ruth Hanzlik GOLDEN POPPY HERITAGE CIRCLE Marjory Jensen TRUSTEE OF THE LAND SAGE LEGACY CIRCLE GOLD LEGACY CIRCLE BRONZE LEGACY CIRCLE James and Eileen Joyce Bill and Barb Ailor $1,000,000+ $250,000 - $499,999 $75,000 - $99,999 $25,000 - $49,999 Henry Jurgens and Laura Hines- Bruce Biesman-Simons and Hale Jurgens Annenberg Foundation Rebecca M.
