Our mission is to protect the natural and cultural
resources of the Coachella Valley: the scenic, wildlife, cultural,
geologic, and recreational resources that make this such a splendid
place for people and all the other life forms with which we share
this special place. The Coachella Valley Mountains Conservancy is a
state agency established in 1991 to pursue this mission, and is
directed by a 21-member Governing Board. The Conservancy is an
exceptional example of local communities, state and federal
agencies, elected officials, non-profit organizations, and business
and environmental interests working together for the good of all. Since
its inception, the Conservancy and its partners have conserved over
47,800 acres (see Projects page for more information).
