Santa Clarita
Watershed Recreation and Conservation Authority
This
joint powers authority was established in 1993 by the City
of Santa Clarita and the Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy
in order to cooperatively plan for preservation of open space,
trails, parkland, and watershed protection in the Santa Clarita
area and the upper Santa Clara River Watershed.
In 2002, the
Santa Clarita Watershed Recreation and Conservation Authority
(SCWRCA) finalized the City’s and Conservancy’s
longstanding efforts to acquire Whitney Canyon Ranch. The
442-acre property was the first to be owned by SCWRCA, heralding
a new phase in the cooperation between the entities. In addition
to its one million dollar contribution to the purchase price
of the property, the City also appropriated $300,000 for initial
site improvements, which were made by the Mountains Recreation
and Conservation Authority under a cooperative agreement with
SCWRCA.
