Mountains Recreation And Conservation Authority

The Mountains Recreation and Conservation Authority (MRCA) is a public agency in Southern California dedicated to acquiring, preserving, and managing open space, parkland, and wildlife habitat in the Santa Monica Mountains, the Simi Hills, and the Santa Susana Mountains. MRCA generates revenue through grants, public funding, and partnerships with local, state, and federal agencies, as well as by offering educational programs and collecting park fees. Established in 1985, the MRCA has played a significant role in protecting over 75,000 acres of natural land and providing public access to trails and recreational areas. The agency collaborates closely with the Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy and local communities to balance conservation with public enjoyment.
