Located less than twenty miles from Los Angeles, Catalina Island's
seventy-six square miles are covered with broad valleys, isolated coves,
pristine beaches, two-thousand foot peaks and near vertical shoreline palisades.
This diverse habitat is home to thousands of species of unique native plants and
animals.
Of these natives, including the stately Catalina Mahogany, the shy Catalina
Island Fox and the prolific Beechey Ground Squirrel are found nowhere else in
the world. One hundred percent of the financial support for the Catalina Island
Conservancy comes from private funds, no public tax dollars are used in any
Catalina Island Conservancy program.
