Pepperwood Foundation
Pepperwood is a leader in forging solutions to advance the health of Northern California’s land, water and wildlife. Pepperwood’s Dwight Center for Conservation Science produces cutting-edge research, provides comprehensive environmental education for all ages, and facilitates an innovative citizen science initiative . We use our 3,200 acre nature preserve as a living laboratory to engage students, volunteers, and scientists in applied conservation. Our singular focus is applying science to safeguard the future of nature for generations to come. Founded in 2005 by Jane and Herb Dwight, the Pepperwood Foundation owns and operates the preserve and the Dwight Center for Conservation Science. The California Academy of Sciences owned and managed the preserve from 1978-2005 as a result of a legacy gift from the Kenneth Bechtel family and continues to utilize the preserve for program development and delivery. As a 501(c)(3) public charity, the mission of Pepperwood is to advance science-based conservation throughout our region and beyond. Pepperwood is supported in part by a dedicated fund based at Community Foundation Sonoma County in addition to foundation grants and individual.
