MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT
Marineros Volunteers 



 

,   

   
Happy Holidays! I would like to take this opportunity to thank our volunteers and donors for their outstanding 2013 support of the Conservancy. Without the gifts of time and energy from more than 800 volunteers, our programs would not be as strong as they are. As well, our generous donors make it possible for programs such as fox trapping, which garnered so much recent press attention, and bison contraception, which was detailed at the Conservation & Education Symposium, to be leading-edge models for conservation everywhere. The Conservancy excels because of you, our donors and volunteers. Thank you so much!   
                


Sincerely,

Ann M. Muscat, Ph.D. President and CEO    

 

 

SHE SAID, 'YES!': CUPID RIDES JEEP ECO TOUR

A Jeep® Eco Tour recently became the ride of Parth Shah's and Shailey Parekh's lives. They stopped at the Whale's Tail, the rock formation dividing Little and Shark Harbors, and Parth asked for Shailey's hand in marriage. The happy results re-prove for the millionth time that Catalina is the isle of romance. Plan your own Catalina wedding at any one of various locations around the Island. Click here for a discount on a Jeep® Eco Tour.
