Department Information

Since its inception in 2004, the Sierra Nevada Conservancy has worked to improve the environmental, economic, and social-well-being of the Sierra Nevada Region and its communities. The SNC addresses regional challenges to reduce wildfire risk, improve climate resilience, and support economic health in the Region. Our efforts are organized within the SNC’s primary initiative, the Sierra Nevada Watershed Improvement Program (WIP). With forest health as the foundation, the WIP weaves together four priorities: restoring healthy ecosystems, improving community resilience, promoting sustainable recreation and tourism, and conserving natural and working lands. To date, the SNC has awarded over $140 million to projects throughout the Region, and partnered with other government entities to distribute over $20 million more.

Spanning nearly 27 million acres, the Sierra Nevada Region encompasses all or part of 24 counties and runs from the Oregon border on the north to Kern County on the south. The Region provides water to more than 75% of Californians and vast swaths of Central Valley farmland.

The SNC values diversity at all levels of the department and is committed to fostering an environment in which employees from a variety of backgrounds, cultures, and personal experiences are welcomed and can thrive. It is our belief that the diversity of our employees and their unique ideas inspire innovative solutions to complex challenges in the Sierra Nevada Region.
