SERCAL is the California Society for Ecological Restoration. The mission of the Society is to promote ecological restoration as a means for sustaining diversity of life on Earth and reestablishing an ecologically healthy relationship between nature and culture.
Organized in 1991-92, SERCAL was the first state chapter of the Society for Ecological Restoration (SER), an international non-profit membership organization, based at the University of Wisconsin, Madison and relocated to Tucson, Arizona in January, 2000. In March, 2000, SERCAL reorganized as the California Society for Ecological Restoration, an independent nonprofit, public benefit corporation. In July, 2000, the corporation was granted California non-profit 501(c)(3) tax exempt status by the State Franchise Tax Board, followed by federal tax exempt status granted by the US Department of the Treasury, Internal Revenue Service, in May 2001. |
