Save Mount Diablo is a nationally accredited land trust and conservation organization based in the San Francisco Bay Area. We have been preserving lands on and around Mount Diablo and educating the public to the mountain’s natural values since 1971.
Our mission is to forever preserve the remaining natural lands on and around Mount Diablo, and to connect Mount Diablo to the rest of the Diablo Range. We achieve our mission through a conservation approach that integrates perpetual land preservation, advocacy, stewardship, land use planning, and education programs. We work to preserve Mount Diablo’s peaks, surrounding foothills, watersheds, and connection to the Diablo Range through land acquisition and preservation strategies designed to protect the mountain’s natural beauty, biological diversity, and historical and agricultural heritage; enhance our area’s quality of life; and provide recreational opportunities consistent with the protection of natural resources.
Preserving natural land forever means safeguarding our quality of life, including our air, water, and views. Thousands of open space acres on and around Mount Diablo are privately owned and still threatened by development. In this time of the climate crisis, we also need to make sure Mount Diablo remains connected to its 200-mile Diablo Range, of which only 24 percent has been protected. At risk are wildlife corridors, ecosystems, and recreational opportunities.
