Lower American River Conservancy Program News

Join staff of WCB and members of the Lower American River Conservancy Program Advisory Committee on Monday, September 9, 2019, for our first tour of the lower American River Parkway. The goals of this tour are to educate the committee members and WCB staff on the current conditions of the Parkway and show them potential and current community investment sites. Members of the public are invited to participate but are responsible for their own transportation.

Get ready to spring into action along the Parkway by submitting a full application for your high-quality project that advances the goals of the Parkway and this year’s PSN.

The consultation period has arrived for the 2019 Proposal Solicitation Notice (PSN) for the Lower American River Conservancy Program!

The Wildlife Conservation Board is preparing to release the 2019 PSN for the Lower American River Conservancy Program (Program). Now is the time to discuss your project ideas with WCB staff and to ask questions about the Program, priorities, and process. See the Consultation Announcement (PDF) for more information. Visit the LARCP web page and its Helpful Resources for documents and examples that will help potential applicants navigate the Program and know what to expect for the 2019 PSN.

This year’s PSN will not include a pre-application. The consultation period is currently the one opportunity to ask questions and get feedback. Take advantage of this voluntary step while you can. We look forward to hearing from you!
