Nuestra misión, visión y valores
All Hands Ecology, is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit land-based conservation organization founded in 1962 to protect sensitive wildlife habitat. Today we are guardians of a system of nature preserves spanning 5,000 acres across Marin and Sonoma counties. Through the integration of education, science, and stewardship, our 50+ staff work to ensure Northern California’s biodiversity endures through research, land stewardship, and mentorship for new generations of conservationists.
Our Strategic Plan not only acknowledges that people are part of nature but sets an ambitious road map for landscape-scale stewardship that engages a diversity of hearts, hands, and minds.
Nuestra misión:
Conectar la naturaleza, las personas y la ciencia para un mundo más resiliente.
Nuestra visión:
Un mundo donde prospere la diversidad de la vida y la naturaleza beneficie a todos.

Impacto. Queremos marcar una diferencia significativa para la naturaleza y las personas. Fijamos objetivos claros y trabajamos con inteligencia para alcanzarlos.
Una población animal y vegetal sana es señal de un mundo sano
All Hands Ecology’s conservation science program has monitored the North Bay region nesting successes of herons and egrets for over 40 years, collected long-term data sets on wintering shorebird and waterbird populations on Tomales Bay for over 30 years, and is using GPS to track the movements of individual mountain lions in the Sonoma Valley and Great Egrets and Long-billed Curlews on the coast.
Nuestro programa Fire Forward, fundado en 2017, está impulsando la capacidad de nuestra comunidad para utilizar el "buen fuego" con el fin de reducir el riesgo y aumentar la resiliencia de los ecosistemas frente a los incendios forestales provocados por el clima.
El acceso a la naturaleza crea comunidades sanas
All Hands Ecology’s experiential nature education program, which turned 50 in 2020, has connected more than 300,000 Bay Area children and adults to the wonders of nature, cultivating environmental literacy and a conservation ethic. We also steward cultural treasures in our care, including the literary legacy of American author M.F.K. Fisher at her “Last House,” located on the Bouverie Preserve.
Where we operate — a land acknowledgement
The lands upon which All Hands Ecology operates are within the ancestral territories of the Coast Miwok, Southern Pomo and Wappo peoples. We recognize that Indigenous communities are very much alive today and striving to protect and maintain relationships with cultural and natural resources on lands that we hold; we fully acknowledge that Indigenous lands are still occupied by us and others.
All Hands Ecology commits to putting our words into action by developing programs that exemplify our commitment to cultural and Indigenous equity, inclusion, and justice.
