Western Joshua Tree Conservation Fund
Request for Qualifications
CDFW/NFWF are looking for partners to help conserve western Joshua trees!
The Western Joshua Tree Conservation Act states that CDFW may retain one or more consultants to assist in locating, acquiring, conserving, and managing conservation lands and completing other conservation activities.
On September 15th, NFWF released a Request for Qualification (RFQ) to find consultants to assist CDFW with:
1) fee title and conservation easement acquisitions and other durable protections of WJT habitat lands to legally protect them
2) enhancement, restoration, management, and/or monitoring of both WJT habitat lands that are acquired and protected and such lands that are already legally protected but that would benefit WJT populations by being enhanced, restored, managed and/or monitored.

The Western Joshua Tree Conservation Fund was established to receive deposits of fees paid by permittees for their authorized impacts to and/or taking of western Joshua tree in lieu of completing their respective mitigation obligations on their own, and deposits of other funding to support the conservation of the species. Monies in the Western Joshua Tree Conservation Fund are for the purposes of acquiring, conserving, and managing lands that are suitable habitat for the western Joshua tree and completing other activities to address threats to the western Joshua tree.
The Western Joshua Tree Conservation Fund is administered by the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation (NFWF) for CDFW.
