Ranchers, environmentalists and local, state, and federal agencies have voluntarily come together to form the California Rangeland Conservation Coalition.
California's expansive open spaces encompassing oak savannahs, wildlife and native plants are under threat of conversion.
This threat and the knowledge that nearly all of the species of grassland birds, most native plants and the threatened vernal pool ecosystem actually BENEFIT from responsible grazing practices has brought together a unique set of partners.
Partners are working to preserve private working landscapes, support the long-term viability of the ranching industry and to protect and enhance California's rangeland for protected and common species. California Rangeland Resolution 2007.
