RCWA (say: reck’ wah) is an alliance of citizen organizations on ridges, valleys and waterways of the Mendocino Coast. We are a tax exempt non-profit organization.

RCWA was formed to support its affiliate organizations with their outreach and education regarding the sustainability and protection of our local resources.

Each affiliate of the Alliance works within its governance structure and ours to preserve its regional environmental objectives. In addition, each affiliate nominates a representative to act as a Director for the RCWA Board, where our objective is to keep the non-profit corporation functional with a balanced budget.
