Palos Verdes Peninsula Land Conservancy

The Palos Verdes Peninsula Land Conservancy was started in 1988 with a small and committed group of Peninsula residents with a clear goal: to preserve natural lands in perpetuity on the Palos Verdes Peninsula.

Since its founding the Land Conservancy has worked with willing land owners and sellers to ensure the coastal area would be forever protected.  With the work of dedicated residents and continued collaboration with local governments, willing landowners and trusted community partners, the Land Conservancy has preserved and continues to protect 1,700 acres of natural land across the Peninsula. 

The 1,700 acres Land Conservancy owns or manages encompasses the Palos Verdes Nature Preserve, the Linden H. Chandler and George F. Canyon Preserves in Rolling Hills Estates and the White Point Nature Preserve, a facility of the Los Angeles City Department of Recreation and Parks. The named reserves include Abalone Cove Reserve, Agua Amarga Reserve,  Alta Vicente Reserve, Dorothy and Allen Lay Reserve, Filiorum Reserve, Forrestal Reserve, Jacqueline M. Glass Family Reserve, Lower Filiorum Reserve, Malaga Canyon Reserve, Ocean Trails Reserve, Portuguese Bend Reserve, San Ramon Reserve, Three Sisters Reserve, Vicente Bluffs Reserve and Vista Del Norte Reserve.
