We both have been traveling to Catalina Island our whole lives, including where we met! It is important to us that the island keeps its absolute wondrous state and history in tact. The Catalina Island Conservancy can help make this happen! Please contibute if interested! A little about the Conservancy: Their mission is to be a responsible steward of the island’s lands through a balance of conservation, education and recreation. Founded in 1972 as a nonprofit organization, the Catalina Island Conservancy is one of the oldest private land trusts in Southern California. It protects 88 percent of Catalina Island, including more than 62 miles of unspoiled beaches and secluded coves—the longest publicly accessible stretch of undeveloped coastline left in Southern California. Catalina Island is home to more than 60 plant, animal and insect species found nowhere else in the world. It is visited by more than one million people annually. More than sixty thousand school children each year visit camps on Conservancy lands. For more information please visit: www.catalinaconservancy.org
