Program areas at Anza-Borrego Foundation

INTERPRETIVE SALES: ABF operates two retail locations, one inside the Park Visitor Center and one in Borrego Springs. Both retail locations sell interpretive merchandise such as books, apparel, and maps, and staff help visitors discover and remember the wonders of the Park. Proceeds from the sales directly support the Parks education and interpretation programs.
EDUCATION PORGRAMS: Anza-Borrego Foundation offers environmental education programs, including in-field activities, virtual and inperson lectures and workshops, guided hikes and drives for adults and children. Topics include climate science, photography, archaeology, paleontology, geology, hiking, botany, quiet and astronomy.
LAND ACQUISITION: Anza-Borrego Foundation conserves lands through outright purchase or donation from willing sellers. Purchased properties are transferred to Anza-Borrego Desert State Park for perpetual stewardship and management. ABF funds the purchases through grants and private donations. Since 2006, the Resources Legacy Fund Foundation has provided more than $3 million for land conservation under its Preserving Wild California program. Over 55,000 acres have been preserved, and approximately 14,000 acres of inholdings remain. With funding from grants and dedicated donors, ABF continues the land conservation program to make the Park whole.
