Elkhorn Slough (pronounced "slew") harbors the largest tract of tidal salt marsh in California outside of San Francisco Bay. This ecological treasure at the center of the Monterey Bay coastline provides much-needed habitat for hundreds of species of plants and animals, including more than 340 species of birds.

Elkhorn Slough Foundation Emeritus Board of Director Honored

Diane Porter CooleyCongratulations to Diane Porter Cooley named “Farmer of the Year” by the Santa Cruz County Farm Bureau at their annual dinner on Sept 25!

Diane is a founding member of the Elkhorn Slough Foundation’s Board of Directors. She has provided her insight and generosity for nearly 25 years. Diane’s involvement with ESF doesn’t stop there however. She has given ESF easements on the lovely California Old Oak Grove on her Porter Ranch, along with other locations. ESF also manages land Diane donated to The Nature Conservancy to guarantee the land’s protection.

Diane wants to ensure that farming continues in the Pajaro Valley and we are proud to work with her on conserving and restoring the Elkhorn Slough watershed. She has been invaluable in the accomplishments of the Foundation.

Read the story in the Santa Cruz Sentinel. Congratulations Diane!
