Summary

The bill establishes a California Sentinel Landscapes Act that designates a program manager to coordinate state participation in the federal Sentinel Landscapes Partnership. It allows the Wildlife Conservation Board and other conservation agencies to give priority to projects that support the objectives of federally designated sentinel landscapes, and creates a dedicated fund for those projects. Implementation depends on the availability of federal money or other non‑General Fund resources.
