Make a donation
to Fort Ross Conservancy - Donating to Fort Ross
Conservancy allows us to continue our work of promoting
and protecting Fort Ross State Historic Park. We have many
projects that need funding in order to succeed. You are
welcome to restrict your donation to a particular era (Kashaya,
Ranch, or Russian), or a particular project (marine mammal
programs, archaeology, education). Give us a call to
discuss the many options.
Fort Ross Conservancy advocates
for the cultural and natural resources of Fort Ross State
Historic Park and Salt Point State Park. Your membership
ensures that FRC’s essential stewardship activities can be
continued. Fort Ross State Historic Park, located on the
pristine coast of western Sonoma County, is a California
State Park and is listed as a National Historic Landmark.
The fort compound today is the destination for hundreds of
thousands of visitors each year. Salt Point State Park,
fifteen minutes north of Fort Ross, offers 6,000 acres of
hiking trails, camping facilities, and dramatic coastline
to be explored by visitors.

Lobby and fundraise for increased
number of days our parks are open to the public,
-
Grow our interpretive, volunteer,
educational, and event programming,
-
Increase the historical connections to
the land through research, library and archival expansion,
-
Provide stewardship for the Parks’

buildings,

State Parks and our broader local and international
communities.
Current Projects:
