How do the Mountains Recreation and Conservation Authority and the Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy acquire property?
The Conservancy and the MRCA utilize a combination of funding sources to acquire land and create parkland easily accessible to the general public. These include state bond funds, such as those provided under Proposition 12 and Proposition 40; local parks funding, such as that provided by Los Angeles County Proposition A; grant funding; and from the partnership of numerous local, state and federal entities. Private donations have also played a key role in fulfilling the Conservancys mission to buy back, preserve, restore and enhance Southern California open space and parkland.
