About

Protecting our natural open spaces is essential for preserving biodiversity, mitigating climate change, and securing a thriving community for future generations.

Our Story

From its inception in 1989 and incorporation in 1992, the Crafton Hills Open Space Conservancy has been a dedicated guardian of nature, safeguarding pristine landscapes and diverse ecosystems. Committed to preserving the beauty of Crafton Hills, we strive to provide a haven for wildlife, mitigate environmental impact, and offer a serene escape for present and future generations to enjoy the wonders of unspoiled open space.
