Escondido Conservancy: 35 years preserving a watershed

4 weeks ago 4

Escondido Creek Conservancy started with a couple of neighbors planning over a kitchen table and has grown over the last few decades to include about 3,500 acres, $63.5 million in assets and a robust educational program that reaches thousands of students.

This year, the nonprofit is celebrating 35 years since its incorporation with a variety of community activities. An anonymous donor also has agreed to match all donations this year up to $1 million.
