RANDALL PRESERVE
Project Partners
The planning process includes three key entities: the titleholder (Mountains Recreation and Conservation Authority), a supporting non-profit (Coastal Corridor Alliance), and a consulting firm (Dudek).
Mountains Recreation & Conservation Authority
The Mountains Recreation and Conservation Authority (MRCA) holds the title to the 387 acre Randall Preserve. The MRCA is a Joint Powers of Authority (JPA) dedicated to the preservation and management of local open space and parkland, wildlife habitat, coastal access, watershed lands, and trails in both wilderness and urban settings, and to ensuring access to public parkland and coastal resources. Its Governing Board is comprised of designated representatives of the Conejo Recreation and Park District, the Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy, the Rancho Simi Recreation and Park District, and one at-large Member appointed by the Governing Board.
Coastal Corridor Alliance
Coastal Corridor Alliance (CCA), formerly Banning Ranch Conservancy, is a 501(c)3 non-profit conservation focused organization. For 25 years, CCA was dedicated to the protection and preservation of Banning Ranch, now called the Randall Preserve. CCA continues its focus on the restoration and stewardship of the Randall Preserve and its surrounding natural lands and waters, under its new name and expanded mission. In partnership with MRCA, CCA secured funds to help launch and manage several of the planning efforts for the Randall Preserve.
Dudek
Dudek is a 100% employee-owned, multidisciplinary planning, environmental, and engineering consulting firm based in Encinitas, CA. Dudek was hired by CCA to complete biological studies, determine potential restoration alternatives, align the various plans, and establish appropriate locations for public access.
