Thank you for your interest and support. Jane Seymour Pinheiro (1907-1978) Native plant artist and community activist for habitat preservation in the Antelope Valley, Jane Pinheiro's legislative campaigns and fundraising efforts resulted in the preservation of Saddleback Butte State Park, the Antelope Valley Poppy Reserve, and eight other wildflower / wildlife sanctuaries.  Dee Ulch, a pilot who flew Pinheiro to Sacramento for legislative sessions, once asked her why she wore bright floral dresses to the Capitol.  She responded, "Because I want them to know I'm here." Pinheiro was also instrumental in the founding of the Antelope Valley Hospital District, the Allied Arts Council, and AVEK.		WHAT WE DO: Antelope Valley Conservancy serves the community: preserving native habitats and watershed resources advocating for wildlife movement and ecosystem function promoting ecoregional planning, knowledge, and collaboration WHY WE DO IT: We acknowledge future generations’ interests in land that maintains community character, scenic beauty, and native habitats. We acknowledge the right of nature to retain territory, particularly functional habitats and connectivity for native plants and animals. Photo Credit: Cecilia Rejas HOW WE DO IT: Antelope Valley Conservancy acquires lands through grants, by accepting donations of land, and by implementing "mitigation". AVC is authorized by the California Department of Fish and Game to hold mitigation lands and establish land banks.  AVC assists agencies and developers to implement in lieu fee mitigation. AV Conservancy is a 501(c)(3) public benefit corporation, with public charity status to ensure land donors qualify for tax benefits.   While land preservation and stewardship are AVC's primary missions, participation in regional planning, educating about the ecosystematic importance of the region, research and study of the area, and advocacy to promote wise regional stewardship come with the territory. Therefore, AVC also sponsors: --- Habitat cleanups --- Presentations that teach about our regional habitats and watershed function --- Antelope Valley Bicycle Ride and Bicycle Ride Day Youth Activities at George Lane Park --- Endangered Species Day In 2007 Antelope Valley Conservancy adopted AVTREC, which, for 25 years was a force for desert and mountain conservation and preservation of regional trails. AVTREC evolved from the Antelope Valley Trails Council and adopted the Antelope Valley Heritage Foundation. Antelope Valley Conservancy is proud to be the adoptive parent organization for these historic efforts, and to continue the work of preserving our regional trail system.
