| BRBNA Vision |
 It
is the year 2030. The 800,000-acre BRBNA is an expansive landscape
composed of publicly-owned wild, resource, and recreation lands;
and well-managed private lands, ranches, and vital agricultural
operations. The landscape supports a variety of resource-appropriate
recreation activities. The BRBNA is protected from urban sprawl
through a combination of public ownership, conservation easements,
and the efforts of conscientious landowners. New housing and
visitor services are located in the gateway communities that
border the BRBNA, further protecting this extraordinary region.
The region is renowned for its biodiversity, undisturbed natural
processes and scenic beauty. Visitors enjoy views and vistas
of the serene landscape and appreciate the variety of resource-based
activities it affords – research and academic study of
the sensitive natural areas, ranching, agricultural operations,
and recreation.  The public, nonprofit and private landowners
within the BRBNA are all partners in the BRBNA Conservation
Partnership (BRBNACP). This group actively works together to
conserve and enhance the sustainability, biodiversity and productivity
of the BRBNA’s resources, and to address new challenges
as they arise. |

| BRBNA Mission |
 The
Blue Ridge Berryessa Natural Area Conservation Partnership
(BRBNACP) promotes the conservation and enhancement of the
expansive landscape that comprises the BRBNA..............
by encouraging
the sensitive management of its natural, agricultural, recreational,
archeological and historical resources. As a voluntary and
inclusive organization, the BRBNACP facilitates coordination
and collaboration among its public, private, and nonprofit
partners; provides research, information, and education services
to partners; and conducts outreach to the public. |
| BRBNA Guiding
Principles |
Five principles guide the activities and
decisions of the Partnership:
- Preserve, protect and enhance natural resource
values of the BRBNA including its lands, wildlife, plants,
creeks, and waters.
- Support conservation-based land-use activities
and sustainable economic development in the BRBNA
- Respect the rights of private landowners.
- Encourage resource-compatible, non-growth
inducing public recreation facilities on public lands.
- Consider all positions on an issue, but
only support activities when the Partnership has reached
consensus.
