We believe that property owners have a Constitutionally protected right to use and enjoy their property in a responsible way. That includes the right to a reasonable amount of water for homes and food production. We will not quietly tolerate any taking of those rights in the absence of an empirical showing of significant harm, and we will aggressively pursue regaining those rights that have been abridged.

The best stewards of the land are the people who live on and care for their homes and their property. Government bureaucrats working in an office miles away simply are not as much a part of the land as those who call it home.

We participate in the processes where land and water use policies are developed, provide technical assistance to property owners, and engage in litigation when necessary.  We work to maintain a healthy environment with voluntary stewardship of our natural resources as the best alternative to overly prescriptive regulation.

We know that you are fully capable of providing the best protection of our lands for today and the future.  Working together, we are developing and implementing the stewardship that puts effective conservation on the ground.  Come join us in our efforts and make them your own, and come back to our site frequently for news on the issues and our activities.  The resources you find here will help you be well informed about local land and water use regulations and our stewardship efforts.

Please join us and share your experiences, skills, knowledge in all areas relating to property ownership and caring for our landscapes as landowners.
