Our Mission
The Division of Land Resource Protection provides information, maps, funding and technical assistance to local governments, consultants, Resource Conservation Districts and non-profit organizations statewide with the goal of conserving the state’s agricultural and natural resources.
Welcome! We hope that this site provides all of the information you need on California's agricultural land conservation efforts; including forms, data, and background materials.
We also know that publications and graphics cannot substitute for the detailed knowledge of DLRP's expert staff. Please contact us at the numbers below to obtain the specific information you need.
