The Bolsa Chica Land Trust is a nonprofit organization based in Huntington Beach, California, founded in 1992 to preserve and restore the Bolsa Chica wetlands, one of Southern California’s remaining coastal ecosystems. It focuses on acquiring, protecting, and restoring the Bolsa Chica area while educating the public about its natural significance and cultural history, and it operates a native plant nursery known as the Growing Space that serves as a living laboratory and educational hub. The organization engages in habitat restoration work on the Bolsa Chica Mesa and coordinates educational programs to raise awareness of the wetlands’ role in both natural and urban environments.

Its work involves collaboration with state and federal agencies, including the State Lands Commission and the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, to develop large-scale restoration plans and secure funding for habitat protection. The Land Trust operates with a broad membership across California and beyond, reflecting its emphasis on community engagement and stewardship. A recent development includes the appointment of a new Executive Director in mid-2026, signaling ongoing leadership and program continuity.
