WCB has released its 2025–2030 Strategic Plan, which will guide the Board’s conservation and public access investments over the next five years.
The updated plan builds on WCB’s 2014 Strategic Plan and reflects California’s current conservation priorities, including Pathways to 30x30, Outdoors for All, and the Nature-Based Solutions Climate Targets. It emphasizes collaboration with Tribes, community partners, and agencies to protect biodiversity, advance climate resilience, expand equitable access to nature, and improve organizational effectiveness.
To shape the plan, WCB hosted five public listening sessions across the state in Fall 2024, conducted an online survey, and held multiple Tribal listening sessions. Input from communities, Tribes, and partners directly informed the final framework.
