We are pleased to announce that we have changed our name from Angel Island Association to Angel Island Conservancy. A new name and brand. The same passion.
Angel Island State Park is on the cusp of a visionary revitalization. Angel Island Conservancy is positioning itself to help facilitate this transformation as well as the ongoing preservation, restoration and enhancement of Angel Island.
Through our new name and brand, we seek to convey the excitement and dedication of our cooperating association and reflect the fun and kaleidoscopic character of Angel Island and its community of visitors, volunteers, and supporters.
Join us as we build our community, take care of our island, and create our legacy.
Each year millions of people visit America’s State Parks. At many of these parks, non-profit partner organizations, known as Cooperating Associations, enhance your visit through funding to support educational and interpretive programs, and developing publications. Angel Island Conservancy (AIC) is the Cooperating Association supporting Angel Island State Park (AISP).
Did you know… Angel Island State Park is the largest natural island in the Bay and is visited by over 100,000 people annually from all over the world? It has four main historic sites and miles of hiking and biking trails. Is on the National Registry of Historic Places and is a National Historic Landmark. AND YET… has millions of dollars worth of deferred maintenance work, including 120 historic buildings threatened by inadequate funding.
Established in 1975, AIC’s primary mission is to facilitate the preservation, restoration and interpretation of historical and natural resources on Angel Island, with the goal of enhancing the visitors’ experiences and building a community to support AISP.
AIC is proud of its accomplishments:
- AIC provides this website and the AngelCam.
- Located at the ferry dock in Ayala Cove , the AIC Information Station carries a wide variety of merchandise, all of which highlight the natural beauty and historical significance of the island.
- AIC provides Student Service-Learning Scholarship Program enabling students from low income areas to visit and attend educational programs at Angel Island State Park.
- AIC produced a Video highlighting the natural, historical and cultural significance of the island.
- AIC provided funding for oil spill remediation equipment and wildfire restoration and protection efforts.
- In partnership with AISP, AIC has begun the process of developing an Interpretation Master Plan, the first step in a process that will result in significant enhancements in the visitor experience, in Ayala Cove and beyond.
