Our mission is to deliver to future generations an unspoiled legacy of our natural world through grassroots activism, enforcement of existing laws, promotion of sound environmental and land use legislation and to educate people to take responsibility for the earth's ecosystems and resources.
LandWatch will work for sound land use policies that:
Provide affordable housing for local working families, located within mixed-income neighborhoods.
Create urban growth boundaries to stop costly and destructive urban sprawl.
Establish strong, long-term protection for commercially productive farmlands.
Require that adequate public facilities and services, including police, fire, schools, parks, transportation facilities, and reliable water supplies, be in place prior to, or concurrently with, new development.
Improve the regulatory process by making it more effective, efficient and accountable.
