Our Work
Environment
Supporting conservation efforts to prevent climate change by funding programs that protect and preserve natural spaces.
Conservation practices
We believe that protecting and preserving the Earth are critical factors in preventing climate change.
Yardi is committed to finding and funding programs committed to this work in the United States, Canada, and India.
Our partnerships
Wildfire Resilience Initiative, UCSB
The Wildfire Resilience Initiative at UC Santa Barbara develops and applies the latest technology, resilience research, satellite data and meteorological information for the understanding, prevention, and mitigation of extreme wildfire events as well as the resulting damage from such events.
Gaviota Overlook, Santa Barbara Land Trust
Yardi helped to fund the Santa Barbara Land Trust’s effort to purchase and protect the Gaviota Outlook, which is 48 acres of rolling coastal grassland along the iconic U.S. Route 101 State Scenic Highway. This part of the coast is considered one of the most magnificent examples of rural, coastal Southern California and among the last undeveloped in the southern region.
Boreal Wildlands Project
In 2022, Yardi supported the Nature Conservancy of Canada’s land purchase to protect the Boreal Wildlands, a stretch of land called “the lungs of the earth.”
Deer Creek Park
Yardi partnered with The Trust for Public Land as they acquired the legendary Mansdorf property, which included two miles of pristine California coast known as Deer Creek Beach, and it is now in the process of becoming part of the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area.
Reforestation
The 14 Trees Foundation is dedicated to building a scalable model to restore jungle ecosystems with native vegetation. By bringing together individuals from cities, village communities, local tribes, and corporations, they are able to undue environmental damage while developing economic opportunities for many and building a sustainable future for the next generation. With Yardi’s support, over 6700 trees have been planted and two ponds dug on 20 acres of restored land.
