We keep rural communities at the heart of the policy process. We provide a policy voice and platform for our Western partners. RVCC understands how natural resource policy works on the ground, and ensures that these policies lead to ecologically responsible and economically equitable outcomes that advance rural community vitality through land stewardship.

Tracking

We track emerging policy and legislation relevant to RVCC values and our diverse coalition of participants.
