2018 was a very successful year for Placer Land Trust, thanks to our amazing staff and our generous members. Together, we completed three exciting conservation projects, protecting close to 1,500 acres, bringing our total to nearly 11,000 acres.
In just one year, we preserved grasslands and vernal pools near Lincoln that will protect threatened wildlife, provide rangeland for livestock grazing, and offer scenic open space for local residents. We preserved oak woodlands along the Bear River north of Auburn, expanding a block of nearly 8,000 acres of protected land, and providing critical habitat for our State insect, the rare California dogface butterfly. And we protected historic ranchlands north of Auburn, helping to preserve our rural way of life.
