A Natural Fit for Modern Stewardship
The Catalina Island Conservancy has introduced Digital Memberships through its new partnership with Cuseum, updating and improving how its members receive benefits and stay connected. This shift allows the organization to minimize printing and postage, increase their renewal rates, and offer members easier, faster access from anywhere.
By going digital, the Conservancy joins a growing movement of mission-driven institutions, such as the Don Harrington Discovery Center, New England Aquarium and Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, inenhancing member experiences while reducing operational overhead.
Rooted in Preservation, Powered by People
Founded in 1972, the Catalina Island Conservancy protects 88% of the island’s nearly 48,000 acres—making it one of the largest private land trusts in California. With a mission centered on conservation, education, and recreation, the organization balances ecological protection with public access.
From endangered plant species to the beloved Catalina Island fox, the Conservancy leads habitat restoration, species recovery, and sustainability programs that impact local biodiversity and global conservation science. The island's Mediterranean climate, rugged terrain, and endemic wildlife make it both a research haven and a destination for hikers, students, and nature lovers.
Each year, over a million visitors engage with the island. Through trail access, tours, volunteer opportunities, and outdoor education, the Conservancy fosters a deeper appreciation for wild places—connecting people to purpose through nature.
What Digital Membership Delivers
Members now receive their cards directly on their smartphones. From day one, they can:
Access benefits instantly
Receive timely reminders about renewals and events
Stay informed without needing printed materials
Avoid lost cards or fulfillment delays
Everything is mobile, seamless, and personalized—designed to meet the needs of today’s members while supporting the Conservancy’s sustainability goals.
Why the Switch Matters
Going digital reduces mailing costs, eliminates paper waste, and keeps administrative focus where it belongs: on ecological work and visitor engagement. For members, it means dependable access and fewer disruptions. Whether it’s a discount on a tour or an invitation to a conservation update, every touchpoint becomes faster and more reliable.
“Our members care deeply about preserving the natural world,” said a Conservancy representative. “Digital Membership is a way to align how we communicate with the very mission we serve.”
