About The Wildlands Conservancy

Founded in 1995, The Wildlands Conservancy (TWC) is dedicated to preserving the beauty and biodiversity of the earth and providing programs so that children may know the wonder and joy of nature. In working to achieve this mission, TWC has established the largest nonprofit nature preserve system in California, comprised of 22 preserves encompassing 178,000 acres of diverse mountain, valley, desert, river, and coastal landscapes. These preserves are open to the public free of charge for passive recreation, including camping, hiking, picnicking, birding, and more. In late 2021, The Wildlands Conservancy took the bold step to expand its model of stewardship and free public access into additional western states with the acquisition of the 30,000-acre Cherry Creek Ranch, now Enchanted Rocks Preserve. Ultimately, saving our treasured landscapes from development means educating and instilling a love for nature in future generations. For this reason, TWC is also the state’s nonprofit leader in providing free outdoor education opportunities for California youth. Through these programs and our reverent stewardship of preserves—visited by more than 1.5 million people per year—we foster a love and respect for life in all of its magnificent forms.
