Mendocino Land Trust relies on donations/national laws that helps them sustain their organization. In addition individuals/groups are able to help out with MLT. Also it helps keep public parks open for the public to enjoy cliff side scenery.
The money they receive really depends on the donors and the amount the government will give them. It's not consistent because they have to ask annually for support and it affects them greatly. Especially for individuals who work for the Trust. When the government shutdown a couple of years ago--some employees didn't get paid.
The effect is also tremendous. There isn't enough people to protect the land, and maintain it. There is only at least 1 or 2 people that goes around to check if the land is 'OK' from drug lords growing weed and maintaining the land from invasive species. The land of Mendocino rely on the volunteers, and the organization to contiune to maintain the land in good shape and be able to enjoy the beauty of it. Below is the link for those that would like to donate, and I have to say, it was worth every minute pulling out thistles.
