North Coast Preservation Society
The North Coast Preservation Society is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit public benefit corporation (pending federal approval) dedicated to preserving the natural and recreational treasures of California's North Coast for the benefit of current and future generations. Through thoughtful stewardship and community engagement, we work to protect the unique character and environmental integrity of our coastal region while ensuring access to recreational opportunities that enrich lives and strengthen community bonds.
Our Mission
To preserve and protect properties of significant natural, recreational, and community value along California's North Coast, with a focus on:
Environmental Stewardship: Protecting native flora and fauna while maintaining the natural beauty and ecological integrity of coastal properties.
Youth Education: Providing educational opportunities for young people in Sonoma and Mendocino counties, introducing them to golf and outdoor recreation while fostering respect for the environment.
Community Recreation: Ensuring recreational facilities remain accessible to the surrounding community, enhancing quality of life for residents and visitors alike.
Vista Preservation: Protecting the scenic vistas and natural beauty that make the North Coast a treasured destination for all who visit.
Our Vision
We envision a North Coast where natural landscapes, recreational opportunities, and community vitality are preserved in harmony for generations to come.
Through the preservation and operation of the Sea Ranch Golf Links, we demonstrate that environmental conservation, recreational access, and economic sustainability can coexist successfully.
Our vision extends beyond a single property—we seek to be a model for how communities can come together to preserve what makes a place special, ensuring that the landscapes and facilities that define our region's character remain accessible and well-maintained.
We believe that places like the Sea Ranch Golf Links are more than recreational facilities—they are community gathering places, natural habitats, and living testaments to the principle that we can live lightly on the land while enjoying its gifts.
Our Impact
By preserving the Sea Ranch Golf Links and operating it for public benefit, we are protecting 168 acres of coastal property from development, maintaining critical habitat for native species, and ensuring that this beloved community asset remains open and accessible.
Our work supports local businesses, provides employment opportunities, and creates a gathering place where community bonds are strengthened. Through youth programs and educational initiatives, we introduce the next generation to outdoor recreation and environmental stewardship.
Every round played, every volunteer hour contributed, and every donation received helps us fulfill our mission to preserve the natural beauty and community character that makes the North Coast truly special.
