4worldlovers: The San Joaquin River Conservancy is funded from three sources: the San Joaquin River Conservancy Fund, the Environmental License Plate Fund, and several bond funds approved by state voters.

The San Joaquin River Conservancy Fund is generated primarily from lease revenue. These funds are used for fundamental property management.

The Conservancy receives a portion of California’s Environmental License Plate Fund. These funds are generated by the sale of environmental license plates by the Department of Motor Vehicles in support of the California Environmental Protection Program.

State voters have authorized $102 million in 6 bond acts to be used at the Conservancy Board’s discretion on land acquisition, planning, design, permitting, and construction to implement the San Joaquin River Parkway Master Plan. Bond funds from Propositions 1, 12, 13, 40, 68, and 84*, as well as grants and donations, provide funding for the Parkway’s capital improvement projects. The California Wildlife Conservation Board assists the Conservancy in administering bond funds and associated grants.

For information about public workshops and opportunities to comment on proposed projects and plans, please contact the Conservancy.

The Conservancy is committed to communicating with California Native American Tribes and tribal communities to secure meaningful input into the development of regulations, rules, policies, projects, and plans that may affect cultural resources and other tribal interests. Although we follow the California Natural Resources Agency’s Tribal Consultation Policy, the Conservancy is interested in being proactive in our relationships with local tribes. If you have any thoughts, please contact the Conservancy.

Acquiring lands for conservation and recreation in the Parkway from willing sellers continues to be the highest priority for investing bond funds to develop the Parkway. Interested landowners may contact the Conservancy’s Executive Officer, see Contact Us.
