Dear Friends, In 2021, the Conservancy continued to pursue our mission to be a responsible steward of Catalina Island through a balance of conservation, education and recreation, while navigating the new realities of a global pandemic. We are grateful to see visitors returning to Catalina Island and enjoying time in the wildlands. The COVID-19 pandemic brought countless challenges, yet it has also allowed for some incredible opportunities, particularly in our education department. While we have begun to resume in-person initiatives, the Conservancy is proud to continue expanding our virtual education opportunities, benefitting our local community and increasing our reach nationwide. We also celebrated numerous conservation achievements in 2021, including a successful fox trapping season and the first observation of a live Catalina Island Shrew in more than 15 years. Thanks to a partnership between the Conservancy, the Department of Defense’s Innovative Readiness Training program and the U.S. Marine Corps, Catalina’s roads are better than ever. Marines restored more than 1.5-miles of roads and culverts to contribute to a more sustainable road network. Finally, with newly developed Conservation and Education strategic plans, we are in a better position than ever to charge forward and pursue our mission with clarity and vigor. Our work is only possible thanks to your continued commitment to Catalina Island. Together we can ensure Catalina will be protected for many generations to come.
