About this opportunity

An Regional Conservation Investment Strategy (RCIS) is a voluntary, non-regulatory document that provides guidance on actions that, if implemented, would result in effective regional conservation. And public agency may propose an RCIS that is developed in consultation with local agencies that have land use authority within the RCIS area. The RCIS Grant Program (Program) supports the following priorities: • Geographic areas lacking an NCCP or regional HCP (i.e., HCP’s that focus on regional conservation with large and interconnected reserve systems)• Geographic areas with a local (non-regulatory) conservation plan or strategy approved or adopted by a public agency• Proposals with matching funds (including in-kind match)• Proposals that demonstrate readiness and qualifications
