The Condor Circle

condor [kon’ dor’] n. (1) the largest flying bird in the Western Hemisphere; (2) an iconic symbol of wilderness, commanding the skies and offering hope for the future; (3) the most honored bird in native culture and ceremony; (4) one who soars across the landscape, traveling long distances with skillful determination and a bird’s-eye view.

The Condor Circle is a dedicated group of top-level donors who serve as the core foundation for ForestWatch’s path-breaking conservation work, giving $1,000 or more annually to our local forest protection efforts. Condor Circle members make a significant, long-lasting impact for the preservation of wildlife, wild places, and free-flowing rivers across the Los Padres National Forest and the Carrizo Plain.

As a local nonprofit organization, our work to preserve our region’s great outdoors depends solely on the support of our members. By joining the Condor Circle today, you are investing in the health and future of our community and taking bold and determined action to conserve our region’s wildlands.
