Conserving the lands and waters of California’s heartland
… Sequoia Riverland Trust is on a mission to conserve the lands and waters of California’s heartland. In doing so, the Visalia-based nonprofit “engages landowners, farmers, conservationists, business partners and governmental agencies to collaborate on land conservation throughout our region.” … The SRT has roots in three separate organizations in the Visalia, Three Rivers and Springville communities with the same goal of preserving natural landscapes in the Kings, Kaweah and Tule watersheds. … The SRT is also a key player in the movement to revive depleted groundwater basins, as (SRT’s executive director, Dr. Logan Robertson Huecker) explains, “multi-benefit land repurposing, or MLRP (Multibenefit Land Repurposing Program), is a grant program from the California Department of Conservation, and it’s essentially a program to bring resources to overdrafted groundwater sub-basins to help them address the needs under the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act.”
