THANK YOU, FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
How can nature be saved now when we need it most?
True, the lagoon is a protected ecological reserve. But our mission—
as a community-supported nonprofit land trust—is all about
connecting you and making nature better. You are the reason
schoolchildren encourage their families to conserve resources and
to enjoy being outdoors. Your support is the reason that sensitive
species, such as saltmarsh birds and coastal marine layer-dependent
plants, have a secure home in San Elijo Lagoon.
“Unless someone like you
cares a whole awful lot,
nothing is going to get better.
It’s not.”
Because of your support, we are enhancing the serenity of unspoiled
nature for all generations. We invite you to continue and broaden
your dedication for cleaner lands, water, and long and winding trails.
Protecting the resilience of San Elijo Lagoon is my passion. It’s my goto-sanctuary and I’m reminded every time I run its trails. And I want
this for our future. I encourage you to see through our children’s eyes
the wonders of wetlands opening up—and how this generation will
carry on our collaborative spirit of conservation, now and forever.
—Dr. Seuss, The Lorax
Sincerely,
Doug Gibson, Executive Director | Principal Scientist
Doug Gibson at the State
Capitol during Watershed Day,
an annual symposium on the
future of watershed restoration.

WILDLIFE HOTSPOT
We all live in a watershed.
Escondido Creek watershed begins in
the headwaters in Bear Valley above Lake
Wohlford. From here, the creek flows more
than 26 miles to meet the coast at San Elijo
Lagoon. The 979-acre San Elijo Lagoon
Ecological Reserve is an oasis of nature
nestled in burgeoning north San Diego. It
isn’t huge, when compared to vast swaths of
protected lands and waters, such as Yosemite.
But look closely. All around you is a rich
fabric of microhabitats supporting more than
700 species of native plants and animals.

PATHS OF IMPACT
Ready. Sweat. Go!
More than 75,000 seekers of serenity,
inspiration, and a good workout hit the
trails in 2015—counted at Rios Avenue
trailhead and the nature center.
Every
accomplishment is
inspired by you.
Thank you for creating
rising tides of positive
change.
Healthy Communities
Wetlands provide a variety of ecosystem
services. It’s why you’re drawn to love
this place. They protect our coastlines,
filter water, provide fish nurseries, jobs
and recreation, and so much more. Discovering
What’s Possible
Students took pledges
on field trips to
conserve resources.
Their conservation
actions included
watershed cleanups,
creating educational
videos and brochures
and designing art
murals made from
recycled materials.
What a View
As a land trust, we
work to save open
space. One of the
biggest threats to land
is people losing their
connections with it.
It’s why we’re partners
together in the future
of protected lands
within urban settings.

A YEAR OF CELEBRATIONS
We Saved This View Together
Because of your
community-supported
gifts, the coastal
overlook will be
restored.
The late Betty and George Harbaugh
Undeveloped coastal land is rare to save these days. Joseph Balla, a
former Solana Beach resident, used to bring his kids to see sunsets
from Harbaugh Seaside Trails (former Gateway property). Through
years of watching construction story poles play out across the views,
Joe always hoped it would stay natural. He bridged these wishes with
San Elijo Lagoon Conservancy | Impact Report 2015 | Page 6
those of the late George and Betty Harbaugh, who had established
a charitable foundation to give back to the betterment of our
communities. On behalf of The George & Betty Harbaugh Charitable
Foundation, Joe Balla’s $1.1 million gift secured the property, its new
name, and its protected future.
A YEAR OF CELEBRATIONS
Growing Future Stewards
Eveny’s insightful remarks in our gala feature film, and live onstage
at Birds of a Feather, gave a rising voice to youth leadership. Eveny
visited the lagoon last spring on a field trip. This visit increased her
connection to nature. She began to wonder how she could prevent
so much trash from ending up in our watershed. As a freshman
now, she’s a leader of her school’s ecology club and recently returned
to the lagoon to share her knowledge with younger students. Your
support for kids in nature creates leaders. Eveny thanks you—and
so do we.

Childs and Peter House.
CONSIDER A LASTING GIFT
Join our Legacy Circle members who have generously included the conservancy
in their estate plans. These are special gifts that support San Elijo Lagoon’s lands,
waters, wildlife and personal enjoyment in perpetuity.

MORE THAN A FIELD TRIP
Joshua is in elementary school. During his recent visit to the lagoon
he learned about food chains in the reserve. He made the connection
of how trash makes its way into the food chain. He declared he would
go home and teach his little brother. His enthusiasm bubbled over. He
wants “to teach the grownups that no longer remember” to recycle.
Joshua is one of thousands of school children who explored the
lagoon last year. The lagoon field trip allowed for real world
application of lessons learned in the classroom. Each student
took pledges to reduce, reuse, and recycle. It takes a community.
Schoolteachers, parents, and our dedicated naturalists are leading
these kids down the trail of life and expanding discovery.
Your generosity
connects today’s
children with love
and care for our
world.
Students learn about the
impacts of trash in the food
chain during trail and beach
cleanups.
“I know I have some sort of impact
on how garbage gets there, but I begin to
think how I can prevent that.”
–Eveny, High School freshman
San Elijo Lagoon Conservancy | Impact Report 2015 | Page 8
MORE THAN A FIELD TRIP
Welcome Back.
Kids don’t come just once. The conservancy’s field trips are about
making lasting connections with youth in nature. We work with
partner schools whose students, especially in grades 3-5, engage in
field trips multiple times, even in a single year. Repeated exposure
to nature builds on concepts learned in the classroom and applied
in real life through outdoor exploration. It’s more than a field trip.
Students have expanded their conservation actions by hosting beach
and trail cleanups. It’s encouraging that many students return with
their families to experience seasonal family events together. Our
curricula meets Next Generation Science Standards and Common
Core State Standards by grade level.

INSPIRE YOUR COMPANY’S SUPPORT
Check to see if your employer matches charitable donations. Many large
corporations encourage matching gifts.

SPROUTING COMMUNITY CONSERVATION
The idea was grounded with a basic thought. What if we could
source the native plants here and reduce our dependence on outside
nurseries? With the initial “seed” investment placed by a donor,
others joined in to create a native plant nursery in the reserve. Lagoon
Platoon habitat restoration stewards helped create a plan. Volunteers
built the shade structure and installed fencing. Construction on the
shed was donated, as were cultivation tools.
In late 2015 the nursery became operational. Welcome, dirty hands!
Alongside staff biologists, volunteers collect seeds and nurture
seedlings that replenish habitats throughout the reserve. This is the
new way of habitat restoration, made possible by your gifts to restore
the native diversity upon which wildlife depends. We’re saving
transportation and nursery sourcing costs. We’re improving our
carbon footprint.
Because of your
gifts, volunteers
of all ages can
join together in
community habitat
conservation.
“This nursery
will allow volunteers
working with conservancy staff
to maintain and enhance native
plant populations in this important
coastal ecological reserve.”
—John Leonard, The John and Elizabeth Leonard
Family Foundation

SPROUTING COMMUNITY CONSERVATION
When you give to the conservancy, you’re also investing in
future community leaders.
Most Saturdays, you might not expect to see teens shoveling soil in
the Great Outdoors. Meet Teen Volunteers in Action, an organization
of young men in grades 7–12, who participate in community
volunteer events. They sweat it out—installing native plants and
removing non-native species. There’s no App for getting outside and
breathing fresh air. Your gifts unplug us from our daily routines.

LOYAL LAGOON MONTHLY GIVING
Your monthly tax-deductible gift helps ensure that we have
dependable resources in response to urgent habitat concerns.
An automatic monthly amount is the easiest way to give.

GIVING TO THE FUTURE
Jim Dietz is a retired engineer. With time to give back to his passions,
he graduated from our naturalist training two years ago. Early in
training he took his nine-year old granddaughter out for a hike. She
didn’t seem as interested in his “trivia facts” as she was in observing
the world around her. Jim quickly realized that just providing
information was not going to cut it. “You have to make sure to
connect with the kids, guide them to make their own observations
and discoveries, and always be enthusiastic and engaging,” said Jim.
He’s often seen in the lagoon surrounded by eager students begging to
stay longer on their field trips.
Jim and his granddaughter take a closer look at life in the lagoon.

Volunteers in
service for community
and nature contributed
more than 5,355 hours,
or a donation value of
approximately
$110,000.
“If a child is to keep alive his inborn sense of
wonder, he needs the companionship of at least
one adult who can share it, rediscovering with
him the joy, excitement, and mystery of the
world we live in.” —Rachel Carson, The Sense of Wonder
