Conservancy gains vast Santa Catalina Island lands in gift

The Santa Catalina Island Conservancy, a nonprofit founded in 1972, now owns most of Santa Catalina Island including over 47 miles of shoreline and 900 000 visitor days in 1974. A 50 year open space easement limits development on 41 000 of 42 135 acres, funded by a gift of Santa Catalina Island stock from the Wrigley family.
