BACKGROUND AND PROGRAMS

The MISSION of San Diego Habitat Conservancy (SDHC) is to acquire, manage and protect land in perpetuity that supports sensitive habitats and species, and to educate and inspire people and communities as stewards and advocates of their natural environment.

The SDHC has two distinct, but interconnected, programs to fulfill our Mission:

• The Land Preservation and Stewardship program
  
• The Community Outreach & Education program

 

We were established in 2000 as a nonprofit Public Benefit Corporation and were granted federal 501(c)(3) non-profit status from the IRS in 2002. SDHC manages a number of open space easements throughout the San Diego region, preserving and managing the sensitive habitat and species on those easements that are unique to our Southern California environment. SDHC strives to share our knowledge and appreciation of our natural environment with the San Diego community, encouraging participation in the stewardship of our region’s precious open space. Our VISION is a healthy natural environment that engages the commitment of people and communities, creates a legacy, and improves the quality of life for all living things.
