35 Years of Protecting the Land Around San Elijo Hills

If you’ve spent time on the trails around San Elijo Hills, walked along Escondido Creek, or taken in the open space that surrounds our community—you’ve experienced the impact of The Escondido Creek Conservancy.

This year marks 35 years of protecting the natural spaces that define North County—from our local ridgelines all the way to Cardiff Reef.

What makes 2026 especially meaningful is a major milestone:
All donations this year are being matched up to $1,000,000.

That means every dollar goes twice as far in preserving the landscapes that make San Elijo Hills and the surrounding area so unique.

For many in our community, these aren’t just abstract conservation efforts—this is the land right outside our doors. It’s where people walk their dogs, ride bikes, explore with their kids, and connect with nature.

If you value that access and want to see it protected for future generations, this is a rare opportunity to make a lasting impact.

Consider making a donation and being part of the next chapter.
