San Bernardino County RCIS

The San Bernardino County Regional Conservation Investment Strategy (SBC RCIS) is a voluntary, nonregulatory framework for conservation and mitigation actions in western San Bernardino County, California. The San Bernardino Council of Governments, County of San Bernardino, and the Environment Element stakeholder group, in collaboration with the Southern California Association of Governments, developed the SBC RCIS based on a set of biological and planning principles that arose from the Countywide Vision planning process. In an effort to streamline mitigation decisions and generate the best conservation outcomes, the SBC RCIS was developed to provide a regional, science-based conservation guidebook for use by public agencies, the development community, environmental groups, other interested entities, and the public when planning and carrying out conservation and mitigation.
