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. Our Discovery Center at Andrew Molera State Park in Big Sur is a center for public outreach during the summer and a meeting place for our regular condor tours. We also host groups for presentations here, as well as at local schools. We provide a variety of environmental outdoor experiences for youth here, and at various public lands from Big Sur to Santa Cruz. Through the course of our work, we have developed an organizational culture that strongly values science, education and collaboration. Our approach positions us well to address tomorrow''s ecosystem management challenges and inspire the next generation of wildlife stewards.
