The Shasta Cascade Educational Foundation (SCEF) has been in operation since 1996 and is a non-profit, tax-exempt private organization incorporated in the State of California as an educational foundation dedicated to the proper use, protection, and professional management and of public lands.

SCEF is a not a government agency or entity; rather, it is an advocate for the conservation and proper use of public lands through education about the importance of maintaining the beauty and integrity of our public lands.

The SCEF counts on your support of its mission and commitment to public lands. If we are to have public lands available to our children, and their children, they need to be a part of the lives of a significant portion of our population. If public lands are not used and appreciated by most Americans, we as a nation will make them preservation priority, and an important part of our heritage will be diminished.
