## Preserve
- [Mission Creek Preserve](https://wildlandsconservancy.org/preserve/mission-creek-preserve/): Located in a transition zone between the Sonoran and Mojave deserts, the 4,760\-acre Mission Creek Preserve has a rich species composition with flora and fauna representing both deserts\. Visitors are surprised to discover the center of the Preserve is a lush wetland with a backdrop of eroded painted hills and Mount San Gorgonio looming in the background\.
- [Whitewater Preserve](https://wildlandsconservancy.org/preserve/whitewater-preserve/): Whitewater Preserve is 2,246 acres surrounded by the Bureau of Land Management’s San Gorgonio Wilderness and includes the year\-round Whitewater River\. Rich riparian habitat hosts the endangered southwestern willow flycatcher and least Bell’s vireo, and provides opportunity to see migrating summer tanagers and vermilion flycatchers\. 
- [Eel River Estuary Preserve \& Sounding Seas Dunes Reserve](https://wildlandsconservancy.org/preserve/eel-river-estuary-preserve-sounding-seas-dunes-reserve/): The southern estuary of the Eel River in Humboldt County contains a diverse array of habitats and a grand arena of life\. This 1,300\-acre property includes tidal wetlands, a freshwater marsh, sand dunes, grass lands, beach frontage and a spectacular half\-moon bay on the Eel River\.
- [Spyrock Reserve](https://wildlandsconservancy.org/preserve/spyrock-reserve/): The 5,832\-acre Spyrock Reserve has five miles of frontage on the National Wild and Scenic Eel River in Mendocino County\. Spyrock draws its name from the 540\-foot conical rock towering over the river’s eastern shore\. The habitat is a mosaic of white oak, live oak, maple and bay laurel woodlands, grasslands, clustered stands of fir\. From classic white oak savanna, dramatic rock outcroppings, and two year\-round creeks roams abundant wildlife including deer, bears, mountain lions and bobcats\. Bald eagles, osprey, and Pacific pond turtles can be seen along the river\. Anadromous fish species include Chinook and the endangered Coho salmon as well as steelhead trout\.
- [Seawood Cape Preserve](https://wildlandsconservancy.org/preserve/seawood-cape-preserve/): Seawood Cape encompasses 128 acres including almost a mile of California’s world famous rugged rocky coastline that is replete with barking sea lions and basking harbor seals\. The property is divided by Patrick’s Point Road and lies a few miles south of spectacular Sue\-meg State Park\. On the inland side of Patrick’s Point Road the Preserve has lush redwood and fir forest with verdant deep canyons known as “fern gullies\.” A small campground host house has been handsomely restored for a future “park and walk\-in” or bike\-in environmental campground of up to 40 spaces\.
