MRCA is a public agency of the State of California established in 1985 pursuant to the Joint Powers Act. The partnership between state and local park agencies has created an agency poised to be responsive to local needs and to provide regional services and advocacy accordingly. Like the Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy, the MRCA is dedicated to the preservation of open space and parkland, watersheds, trails and wildlife habitat. In addition, the MRCA manages and provides ranger services, fire protection, planning and natural resources expertise and educational programs for almost 50,000 acres of public lands and parks under its or the Santa Monica Mountains Conservancys ownership.
