Mission
The Elkhorn Slough Foundation's mission is to conserve and restore Elkhorn Slough and its watershed, California's largest tidal salt marsh south of San Francisco Bay. Renowned for its extraordinary biodiversity, Elkhorn Slough features a dynamic working landscape intertwined with rich natural habitats. To achieve its mission, the Elkhorn Slough Foundation focuses on the direct acquisition and stewardship of key lands while collaborating with partnerorganizations and agencies. Together, they advance sound scientific research, deliver impactful education programs, and foster meaningful community engagement. As an accredited organization through the Land Trust Alliance Accreditation Commission, the Foundation upholds the highest standards in conservation and land stewardship.
