To promote an understanding of and interest in wildlife and the environment that supports it, and to foster the cause of conservation with emphasis on birds and their habitats.

Founded in 1977, Ventana Wildlife Society is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization committed to conserving native wildlife and their habitats through research, collaboration and education. We successfully recovered a breeding population of Bald Eagles in central California and are in the process of doing the same for California Condors. With our main office in Monterey and our field office down the coast in Big Sur, we are in prime position to manage the central California Condor population (with National Park Service), lead amazing outdoor education opportunities for youth in underserved communities, and provide valuable ecological services in a variety of habitats.

Promoting environmental, agricultural and nutrition education. Support school garden programs and connecting local farms to Ventura County schools.
