Rural Voices for Conservation Coalition is an innovative coalition of community-based organizations, conservation groups, businesses, agency personnel and citizens working together to promote healthy landscapes and vibrant rural communities throughout the West. RVCC’s mission is to develop an engaged and diverse network of community leaders who advance policy practices that align public and private land stewardship with community well-being and economic development. Our core strategies include advocating for inclusion of rural community interests in natural resource policies; developing stories of success to solidify commitment to collaborative conservation; and designing opportunities for practitioners to learn from each other to accelerate progress.
