Tule Basin Land & Water Conservation Trust is a regional nonprofit organization working to protect, preserve, and restore the natural and agricultural heritage of the Southern San Joaquin Valley
Founded in 2019, the Tule Basin Land & Water Conservation Trust was created by local landowners, conservationists, farmers, and water managers who have a passion for conservation and a commitment to supporting the local economy and community. The Trust was launched to support local landowners in making decisions on how best to manage their land and water to achieve local groundwater sustainability. Since its founding, the Trust has worked in collaboration with local irrigation districts, groundwater sustainability agencies, other conservation organizations, and nonprofits, as well as wildlife agencies, to achieve its mission.
