Watershed Conservation Authority is a local public entity in California that operates through the joint powers of the San Gabriel and Lower Los Angeles Rivers and Mountains Conservancy and the Los Angeles County Flood Control District. Based in Azusa, it works to broaden access to open space and recreational opportunities while pursuing conservation, restoration, and environmental enhancement across the San Gabriel and Lower Los Angeles Rivers watershed. These efforts align flood protection, water supply, groundwater recharge and water conservation with open-space planning in the region. Since its inception, the authority has acquired four properties totaling 193 acres, with land at various stages of protection as open space or parkland. In areas where it does not own land, WCA collaborates with regional partners to plan and implement projects that advance open-space access and environmental goals. The organization operates with a small staff within the Recreational Facilities sector, focusing on expanding open-space availability and watershed stewardship.
