What Restoration Trust does
Mission
The primary purposes of the Restoration Trust are to provide charitable assistance to the public to protect land, including the acquisition of easements; to restore land to native conditions; to manage it to further promote native habitats; to engage in scientific activities that promote protection, restoration, and stewardship of native habitats; and to develop and distribute educational materials to the public on protection, restoration, and stewardship of native habitats.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990-EZ.
Programs
Community Habitat Restoration. The Trust directed, guided or assisted five local community groups with habitat restoration projects in 2025. We worked with the Laguna de Santa Rosa Foundation, the Friends of Lafayette Creek, the Walnut Creek Watershed Council, the Friends of Concord Creeks, and Contra Costa County to restore more than 28,000 sq ft of degraded habitat, planting more than 20,000 native plants and involving almost 250 people. Also include were educational presentations to each group.

The Trust managed five easements in 2025, at Shin Kee in San Joaquin County, Roberts Ranch in Alameda County, Bordoni and Dittmer Ranches in Solano County and the SACMA Preserve in Sonoma County, totaling almost 1,000 acres. Easement management activities included habitat restoration, monitoring of conservation values, interactions with community and landowners and related tasks.

Presentation largely consisted of reviewing potential restoration or easement sites and assisting community members and landowners in envisioning the values and costs of restoration and/or protection effort.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2022, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2022, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2024 to 2025, from $145k to $92k (−37%).
