San Andreas Land Conservancy is a 501(c)3 non-profit established for the protection and restoration of native habitats. We incorporated in 1995 and were recognized by the IRS as a 501(c)3 tax-exempt organization in 1996; our final ruling by the IRS came in 2001.

We have looked at native habitats as something to control; and as endless but clearly this is not the case. Despite our society’'s desperate need to reduce everything to a fiscal value the presence of native habitats and wildlands remains an essential component of the human experience contributing to our quality of life, providing a reflection on the health of the human ecology and as a source of humility for the human species.  The only way many species populations will recover will be through the restoration of the habitats that they depend upon. Restoration is best thought of as the removal of anthropogenic impacts. When discussing habitat protection and restoration needs for native habitats of California we feel that it is important to reference a point in time capable of providing a ‘negative control’, a fixed time predating the imposition of anthropogenic changes that have effected the physical and biological processes that contribute to an organism’s ecology.
