			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In late 2011, the <a href="http://sohosandiego.org/">Save Our Heritage Organisation</a> (SOHO) purchased the 1884 Santa Ysabel General Store, one of San Diego back country&#8217;s most recognized historic landmarks.  Located at 30275 Highway 78, the store is just across the street from the well-known <a href="http://dudleysbakery.com/">Dudley’s bakery</a>. This iconic site is the most important building left of the original 19th century town of Santa Ysabel. Fortunately, the town retains much of its early America feel, because it remains largely buffered by open space.<br />
<img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-4114" title="SantaYsabelGeneralStore_historicPhoto" src="http://sdrvc.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/SantaYsabelGeneralStore_historicPhoto.jpg" alt="" width="350" height="252" /></p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>This historic landmark spent many of the last few years vacant, so one of the first orders of business is to clean and restore the building.  Many hours have already been spent cleaning and restoring the site, and the store is scheduled to be open in Fall 2012!  The site will not only offer visitor information on surrounding public trails, recreation opportunities, and cultural heritage sites of the backcountry, but interpretative displays, historic photos, and will be a venue for special events.  To accomplish this, SOHO has joined with several conservation organizations including the Conservancy, <a href="http://www.volcanmt.org/">Volcan Mountain Foundation</a>, <a href="http://www.sandiegoriver.org/">San Diego River Foundation</a>, and the <a href="http://www.wildlife-research.org/page10.html">Wildlife Research Institute</a>.</p>
<p><strong><em>Stay tuned for the Grand Opening and how you can become involved!</em></strong></p>

<p>The history and legacy of the 55-mile San Dieguito River Valley has shaped our region and will continue to do so for generations. This is why the Conservancy created the fund, and by<em><strong> joining the Living History Circle at the $75 level</strong> you help preserve and promote that legacy.</em></p>
<p>Members of the Living History Circle help support projects like the <a href="http://www.sdrp.org/farmstead.htm">Sikes Adobe Farmstead</a> and the <a href="http://sdrvc.org/current/santa-ysabel-general-store-visitors-center/">Santa Ysabel General Store &amp; Backcountry Visitors Center</a>.</p>

<p>By donating to the Trail Mile Markers Fund you help fund the purchase, installation and maintenance of these durable stainless steel mile markers and smaller half mile markers. The trail markers not only serve to mark the distance from the coast in miles as users travel east and west along the Coast to Crest Trail, but also provide an extra level of safety.</p>

The <a href="http://sdrvc.org/about/our-partners/">Friends of the San Dieugito River Valley</a> have donated the odd numbered markers, while the Conservancy have the even numbered markers.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-size: small;">In September 2011, the Conservancy launched an exciting pilot education program called “<strong>Exploring Our Sense of Place: My Big Backyard</strong>” with funding from the </span><a href="http://www.sempra.com/community/foundation/" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: small;">Sempra Energy Foundation</span></a><span style="font-size: small;"> and <a href="http://www.coastalfoundation.org/">Coastal Community Foundation</a>. The program is based on our successful “</span><a href="http://sdrvc.org/current/esp/" target="_self"><span style="font-size: small;"><em>Exploring Our Sense of Place</em>: A Journey Down the San Dieguito River</span></a><span style="font-size: small;">” series for adults and consisted of a series of eight theme-based outdoor experiences for youth ages 9-11.  A big part of the program&#8217;s focus is to attract young participants who would not normally get to hit the trails, volunteer, or just play in a natural setting.</span></p>
