LandWatch Monterey County

Founded in 1997, LandWatch’s mission is to protect Monterey County’s future by addressing climate change, community health, and social inequities in housing and infrastructure. LandWatch’s accomplishments include the adoption of public policies that reduce greenhouse gas emissions, support urban infill, encourage affordable housing, and protect drinking water and agricultural lands.

By encouraging greater public participation in planning, LandWatch connects people to government, addresses human needs and inspires conservation of natural resources. LandWatch has served as a model for other community-based advocacy organizations throughout California and the West.
