Describe the Organization's Program Activity:

Part 3 - Line 4a

FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A - THROUGH A LAND PRESERVATION AGREEMENT DEEDED IN 1999, THE CAYUCOS LAND CONSERVANCY CLC PARTICIPATES IN THE MANAGEMENT OF THE 355 ACRES AT THE ESTERO BLUFFS STATE PARK, A FOUR MILE COASTAL TERRACE NORTH OF CAYUCOS AND THE CROWN JEWEL OF CLC'S ACCOMPLISHMENTS. THE BLUFFS WALKS PROGRAM OFFERS GUIDED HIKES ON THE BLUFFS SEVERAL TIMES PER YEAR WITH GUIDES WHO ARE EXPERTS ON SOME ASPECT OF THE PROPERTY'S VALUABLE NATURAL RESOURCES. ADDITIONALLY, PERIODIC VOLUNTEER WORK DAYS ARE HELD. CLC CONTINUALLY WORKS TO ADDRESS ACCESS, RESOURCE, AND VISITOR RELATED ISSUES. CLC CONTINUES TO WORK TO PRESERVE THE HILLSIDE LOTS IN THE TWO ANTIQUATED SUBDIVISIONS OVERLOOKING CAYUCOS AND THE COASTAL TERRACE AND HILLSIDES SOUTH OF CAYUCOS. CLC CURRENTLY OWNS 418 OF THOSE PARCELS, 39 ACRES, MANY OF WHICH ARE GEOLOGICALLY UNSTABLE AND THEREFORE UNBUILDABLE. ALL THE LOTS ARE OUTSIDE THE URBAN RESERVE LINE, CLC'S GOAL IS TO PRESERVE THESE HILLS AS PART OF THE GREENBELT AROUND CAYUCOS. THE SAN GERONIMO RANCH LAND PRESERVATION AGREEMENT WAS FINALIZED IN MAY 2007. BY ENTERING INTO A VOLUNTARY AGREEMENT WITH THE OWNER OF THE APPROXIMATELY 865 ACRE RANCH, CLC HAS ENSURED THAT THE NORTHERN GATEWAY TO CAYUCOS WILL CONTINUE TO BE A WORKING RANCH THAT RETAINS ITS AGRICULTURAL CHARACTER FOREVER. SUPPORTERS OF CLC WERE ESSENTIAL TO THE SUCCESS OF THIS PURCHASE, CONTRIBUTING OVER $120,000 TOWARD THE PURCHASE PRICE. AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2023, THE CONSERVANCY HAS COMPLETED CONSERVATION TRANSACTIONS PROTECTING 1,220 ACRES OF LAND IN SAN LUIS OBISPO COUNTY. CLC CONTINUES TO OFFER, AND WORKS TO DEVELOP ADDITIONAL, PROGRAMS TO EDUCATE THE COMMUNITY ABOUT THE VALUES OF OPEN SPACE IN RELATION TO QUALITY OF LIFE.
