The mission of the San Diego River Conservancy is to achieve the goals of the San Diego River Conservancy Act. It will accomplish these statutory objectives by establishing four programs: (1) land conservation, (2) recreation and education, (3) natural and cultural resources preservation and restoration, and (4) water quality and natural flood conveyance. This mission will be accomplished in part by building, with our partners, a San Diego River Park and hiking trail stretching from the headwaters of the River to the Pacific Ocean.

Since department programs drive the need for infrastructure investment, each department has a related capital outlay program to support this need. For the specifics on the San Diego River Conservancy's Capital Outlay Program, see "Infrastructure Overview."
