The mission of the Chuck Haugen Conservation Fund is to appreciate and inspire volunteers and professionals who participate in the conservation of the Monterey Bay area's ecosystems.


  How we strive to achieve our mission:

The primary purposes and objectives of CHCF are as follows:
  • to inspire and increase volunteer participation in conservation projects in the Monterey Bay ecosystems. Projects may include seed collection, weed events (non-native weed eradication), monitoring wildlife and flora, promoting conservation events (e.g. maintaining a regional conservation project calendar), and conservation education
  • to appreciate, inspire, replenish, revitalize, and energize professionals by facilitating community building through activities such as an annual picnic, grant awards, and lectures
  • to aid the conservation education of volunteers and professionals by establishing and maintaining a memorial natural history library

As well as supporting local conservation groups, we conduct monthly weed bashes, host a fabulous yearly picnic free and open to all local conservationists (see some pix here on ourFlickr page (as well as tons of other photos), publish a comprehensive calendar of all the fun and cool Monterey area conservation events we can find, a blog where we encourage you to communicate about conservation issues such as invasive weeds, volunteer events, etc., award grants, and much more!

Please email us for more information. We could always use some more good people to help us support local conservation efforts!
