The use of sound science is a fundamental tenet to the work of the Altar Valley Conservation Alliance. Much of the work of the Altar Valley Conservation Alliance is done through collaborative decision making, and it is imperative that conversations and decisions are being guided by sound science.
The Alliance is essential to facilitating on-the-ground, collaborative conservation in the Altar Valley. Countless hours have been invested in the watershed health of the Altar Valley by individuals and agencies who recognize the importance of cross-boundary thinking in conserving the valley as an open landscape for future generations.
Seats on the Alliance’s Board of Directors are open to a single representative from each agricultural operation in the Altar Valley, along with three community representatives. The Alliance has part-time staff running the day-to-day operations of the organization.
