Why Donate?
Each year, the Friends of Wagner Ranch Nature Area raises more than $30,000 to support the outdoor education programs and programs to cover upkeep and maintenance of the Wagner Ranch Nature Area Nature Area. The Nature Area’s hands-on outdoor education programs have touched the lives of more than 15,000 Orinda kids since the early 1970s and have been taught by the same teacher/naturalist, Toris Jaeger, for 40 years. Most parents do not know that the bulk of the FUNDING FOR THESE PROGRAMS IS RAISED PRIVATELY. The Nature Area is owned by Orinda Union School District, but the programs receive limited school district funding. Please give today, especially if you have a child in an Orinda school who has benefited--or will benefit—from these programs. The recommended donation amount is $50 per student per year, but all amounts are appreciated and do make a difference.
The Orinda Nature Area, an 18-acre nature preserve and historic site has been offering hands-on experiential education to approximately
1,000 Orinda school children annually celebrating Native American, Rancho, and Pioneer heritage and culture. But did you know that the Orinda
Nature Area is also home to one of the oldest Olive Groves in Contra Costa County?
Theodore Wagner planted over 40 olive trees in the nature area in 1882 and harvested the trees for mission olive oil on his ranch. Over the past 140+ years, these olive trees thrived in the Lamorinda microclimate and continue to produce hundreds of pounds of olives. Currently, lack of funding to enable routine tree maintenance and pruning and specialized equipment for olive processing has prevented these fruits from
being routinely harvested.
The Friends of the Orinda Nature Area is working to restore the health and beauty of these heirloom trees and put their fruits to use by launching the Adopt-a-Historic-Olive-Tree program. The proceeds from the program will be used to cover the cost of pruning and harvesting the trees. When you donate $500 to the Friends of Orinda Nature Area Adopt-a-Historic-Olive-Tree program, your tree will be tagged with your family name, you will receive a personalized certificate, a VIP invite to the Nature Area annual Olive Festival, a special invitation to the annual olive harvest, and a small bottle of olive oil harvested from the historic grove. But hurry, with only 40 trees, the inventory is limited!
