The Landscape Conservation Cooperatives (LCC) form a network of public-private partnerships providing shared science to ensure the sustainability of America's land, water, wildlife and cultural resources. WERC was a key partner in launching the California LCC and also contributes to the efforts of the Desert LCC and North Pacific LCC.
