North County Conservancy Receives 76 Acres

Cardiff, CA-based Lawson Family Trust completed the combination donation and sale of 76 acres of land to the San Elijo Lagoon Conservancy in Cardiff, CA. The group will maintain the land as open space, and renovate the existing trail system to provide residential access to the coast and neighboring Mira Costa College, for the larger Encinitas Community.

Founded in 1987, the nearly 1,000-acre wetland is home to more than 1,000 species of plants and animals, and has seven miles of trails. The area is located off of Coast Highway 101 and Interstate 5 in Cardiff, and serves as a critical bridge between the Escondido Creek and the Pacific Ocean.

Lee & Associates’ Al Apuzzo and Matt Weaver represented both parties in the transaction.
