Conservation at Crystal Cove Conservancy
Protecting Crystal Cove’s natural resources through science, stewardship, and community partnership.
Crystal Cove Conservancy works in collaboration with California State Parks, colleges and universities, and regional partners to study and care for the park’s coastal and backcountry ecosystems. Our conservation programs focus on understanding how these habitats are changing over time and engaging the community in protecting them through applied science and hands-on stewardship.
Through volunteer-driven monitoring and fieldwork, community members help track wildlife, identify invasive species, and maintain restored habitats. The information collected through these programs supports data-informed management and contributes to regional conservation efforts across southern California.
