The Altar Valley Conservation Alliance is a collaborative conservation organization founded in 1995, and incorporated as a 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization in 2000. 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. The Alliance’s Science Advisory Board serves to advise and guide the Alliance Board of Directors in steering the Alliance’s science program.

The Alliance’s work would not be possible without our numerous partners. Many of these partners are agencies with responsibilities in the Altar Valley watershed, but many of them are also drawn in by the desire to invest in the open landscape of the valley. The list of our partners can be found here. Many of these partners are assisting in the Altar Valley Watershed Plan via participation in the Watershed Working Group, and numerous partners have participated in our Altar Valley Fire Management team throughout the years.
