The Planning and Conservation League has six program areas that staff members are devoted to year round. This work includes everything from coalition building, to legislative and lobbying work, to workshops and publications. You may notice that some of these projects actually belong solely under the PCL Foundation banner; they are grouped together here because we wanted to give you a clear idea of all the projects our staff members are working on. PCL and PCLF work closely together, with PCL working the legislative side of environmental issues and PCLF working on education and outreach for those same issues.
Below are the program areas for both PCL and PCLF: |
| |
|
| CEQA is a very dynamic law, used essentially by every California public agency in its planning and decision-making activities. Learn about CEQA and the public’s role in the environmental review process. |

|
| Growth pressures along the coast, in the Sierra, and throughout the Central Valley are putting local communities, wildlife, public health, and our natural environment at risk. Learn about how PCL is working to fundamentally change our land use patterns. |

| PCL’s Water Policy team works to fundamentally change California’s water policy. We focus on developing and implementing the most environmentally beneficial solutions to California’s water challenges. Through the wise use of water, we can ensure that there will be sufficient water resources for our economy, people and environment. |
