Resource Design

The Resource Conservation District of the Santa Monica Mountains combines its unique expertise in conservation science, habitat restoration, and environmental education with land stewardship and sustainable architectural design.

Our Resource Design Department works with local landowners to create more environmentally sustainable landscapes by preparing requested biological assessments.

This department also works with our Research & Restoration Department on major local restoration projects including the Annenberg Wildlife Crossing, the redesign and restoration of Topanga and Malibu Lagoon, and the statewide improvement of fish passage for federally endangered southern California steelhead trout.
