Land Conservation
We believe that keeping carbon in the earth and that protecting and preserving land – from development and natural disasters alike – are critical factors to preventing climate change. Yardi is committed to finding and funding programs committed to this work in North America.
Wildfire Resilience Initiative, UCSB
The Wildfire Resilience Initiative at UC Santa Barbara develops and applies the latest technology, resilience research, satellite data and meteorological information for the understanding, prevention, and mitigation of extreme wildfire events as well as the resulting damage from such events.
Gaviota Overlook,
Santa Barbara Land Trust
Yardi helped to fund the Santa Barbara Land Trust’s effort to purchase and protect the Gaviota Outlook, which is 48 acres of rolling coastal grassland along the iconic U.S. Route 101 State Scenic Highway. This part of the coast is considered one of the most magnificent examples of rural, coastal Southern California and among the last undeveloped in the southern region.
Boreal Wildlands Project
In 2022, Yardi supported the Nature Conservancy of Canada’s land purchase to protect the Boreal Wildlands, a stretch of land called “the lungs of the earth.”
Deer Creek Park
Yardi partnered with The Trust for Public Land as they acquired the legendary Mansdorf property, which included two miles of pristine California coast known as Deer Creek Beach, and it is now in the process of becoming part of the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area.
