Placer Land Trust works with willing landowners to protect the natural and agricultural lands that make Placer County so treasured. From grasslands and wetlands on the valley floor to woodlands and canyons in the Sierra foothills, each preserve is special. They provide habitat for valued wildlife, protect our water source, preserve our local agriculture, and create opportunities to get outdoors and play. Each preserve is different, and each one has its own story to tell!
The protected lands in Placer Land Trust’s care are the ancestral lands of the Maidu, Miwok, Nisenan, and Washoe tribes. These lands were forcibly seized, and these tribes were unjustly treated. Although Placer Land Trust cannot change the past, we seek to work with local Native American tribes where we can to help address this injustice.
