The Foundation

A Unique Organization

Founded in 1989, the Laguna Foundation is a place-based organization focused on the Laguna de Santa Rosa, a Wetland of International Importance.  We are a 501(c)3 non-profit with the mission of preserving, protecting, restoring and educating the public about this magnificent natural resource.

We accomplish this mission by:

  • Removing non-native invasive species and planting tens of thousands of trees and other native plants to restore lost habitat.
  • Conducting conservation science activities to provide information for endangered species management and to inform our restoration activities.
  • Educating students and adults about the Laguna ecosystem.
  • Collaborating with other non-profits on county wide issues such as helping ecosystems adapt to climate change.

The Foundation has a small staff and we rely on the support of the community to help us achieve these goals.  Please consider volunteering, becoming a member, or donating to the Foundation;  pulling together as a community of nature lovers, we can make a difference!
