About Us:
The Vista Conservancy
Formation History
The Conservancy formed in May/ June 1998 with the assistance of Wallace Tucker who was instrumental in the creation of the Fallbrook Conservancy. Numerous meetings were held with interested community members and the Developer of Creekside Terrace, Mr. Frank Villeli. Ultimately, Mr. Frank Villeli conveyed the 3 acres to a newly formed non profit cooperation named the Vista Conservancy. After Creekside Terrace developed into 45 residential lots, a 12 foot wide decomposed granite trail connected Capri Drive to the Sycamore Creek Mobil Home Park, a distance of 1500 feet along the Buena Vista Creek woodlands.
Original incorporating members of the Conservancy were:
- Mr. Jim Porter, Vista Parks Director
- Mr. David Larkin, Attorney at Law
- Mr. Frank Villeli , Land Donor
- Margarette Morgan, Vista Resident
- Brooks Cavanaugh , Vista Land Planner
Ways To Protect Lands:
The Conservancy offers a non-profit tax exempt organization capable of receiving environmentally sensitive lands for protection and long term preservation. The Conservancy was formed to acquire, protect and manage the natural resources in a manner beneficial for the current and future community inhabitants. After all , the original community of Vista formed around streams, ponds, creeks, open space and farming.
How Can You Make a Difference:
The Conservancy relies on membership fees, cash donations, and gifts to maintain its present land assets. Even with volunteers working each year along the Buena Vista Creek Trail is takes another $3,000- $4,000 for outside repair, weed abatement and maintenance. We are seeking donations in any form from all who want to keep Vista beautiful. The Conservancy is waiting for the completion of another 2000 feet of walking trail along the creek connecting Brengle Terrace Park to the present trail. When completed, our financial obligations shall increase for maintenance and up keep. Consider donating funds for a specific purpose and in memory of loved ones. Only we living here today will make the difference for tomorrow.
