The Western Riverside County Regional Conservation Authority
manages one of the largest habitat conservation plans in the nation.
Permanent Conservation
The Western Riverside County Regional Conservation Authority was created in 2004 to implement the Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan (MSHCP). One of the MSHCP requirements is to form a 500,000-acre habitat reserve for the native animal and plant species in the region. Through careful and deliberate land acquisition, the RCA is on track to meet its conservation goal.
