CalGLC is a project facilitated by the CA Rangeland Conservation Coalition (CRCC).
CalGLC is producer-led and producer-focused. This project will be a collaborative approach to rangeland stewardship through a dedicated coalition of ranchers, individuals involved with existing conservation efforts, conservation districts, non-government organizations and representatives from state and federal land management agencies.
The CalGLC will be a rancher-led entity.
