Sustainable Conservation helps California thrive by uniting people to solve the toughest challenges facing our land, air and water. Every day, we bring together business, landowners and government to steward the resources that we all depend on in ways that make economic sense. Because we know that common ground is California’s most important resource. Too often, conflict overshadows common ground when solving environmental problems. For decades, fighting it out in court or the state house has been the default approach to addressing tough challenges facing California’s land, air, and water. Each conflict deepens the distrust and animosity between environmental groups and business, while the pressure on our vital natural resources only increases. California deserves better. When we unite all those who are affected by a problem, understand their perspectives, and find common ground, we succeed in stewarding the resources we all depend on for a thriving future.

College Futures believes that ensuring their college success is vital to their families, their prospects for a better life, and the health of our state.
