Protecting the Adelaide

San Luis Obispo County’s natural lands connect to all of California. These connections are some of the most important areas to protect in our County.

The Adelaide is the key to keeping these regions connected for wildlife. Together, we can protect more than 15,000 acres across this incredbile landscape.

Scroll down to explore the wildlife corridors that connect the Adelaide region.

Land conservation is about connection. Large tracts of protected places give wildlife the space to roam free. Birds, bear, bobcat, and plenty of other animals need wild, open places to thrive.
These yellow patterns are regions where wildlife can easily move. They're called Wildlife Corridors.
Some corridors connect vast tracts of land in California.
Some are islands, isolated from other corridors.
This is the Adelaide. Today, the Adelaide is a bridge for wildlife in the southern Santa Lucia Range.
This is a key connection between Big Sur and the Gabilan Range to the north and the southern Los Padres National Forest to the south.
The private lands in the Adelaida are the single connection between five Wilderness Areas, Pinnacles National Park, and Carrizo Plain National Monument.
These corridors are not the only places where wildlife freely move about. However, they are essential to movement in nearby private lands and protected areas.

This is the Adelaide. Today, the Adelaide is a bridge for wildlife in the southern Santa Lucia Range. This is a key connection between Big Sur and the Gabilan Range to the north and the southern Los Padres National Forest to the south.
The private lands in the Adelaide are a critical connection between Big Sur and and Carrizo Plain National Monument, including 5 Wilderness Areas.

These corridors are not the only places where wildlife freely move. Protecting new tracts of private lands on the Central Coast will ensure wildlife can freely move between private lands and protected areas alike.
