The Antelope Valley Conservancy was founded in 2005 as a community managed conservancy to preserve habitat and wildlife connectivity in the Antelope Valley. AVC has fulfilled habitat preservation and restoration projects for state agencies, counties, local agencies, and private landowners.
Antelope Valley Conservancy has one primary preserve, Big Rock 1, that provides 100 acres for tortoises, kit foxes, and more. AVC also holds 40 acres of wetlands and mountain lion breeding habitat in process of being incorporated into the Los Angeles County Parks' Devil's Punchbowl Natural Area; as well as two smaller preserves that protect cottonwood wash and oak woodlands/chamise chaparral.
Antelope Valley Conservancy has held California Department of Fish and Wildlife Authorization to Hold Mitigation Lands since 2009. If you are interested in mitigation fulfillment, please click here for the AVC Application for Mitigation Evaluation .
