After retiring from acting in 1990, McPherson decided that she wanted to pursue her wildlife conservation hobby and save both animals and forests; she has put a lot of time and effort over the years in an attempt to help preserve the Ballona Wetlands located in southern California, as well as working at the Ballona Wetlands Trust to sue the Playa Vista community for their failure to take appropriate action concerning methane.
