Conservation Celebration Week is coming! This week is all about celebrating the people who make land conservation in our region possible — Placer Land Trust members, local conservation leaders, and landowners who choose to preserve their land. Together we accomplish so much!
During the week of September 21-27, we will shine a spotlight on the value of protected lands with an online auction, the Placer Conservator Reception, and Party on the Preserve. There will be something for everyone!
We hope you’ll join us at one or both events to help us honor Sarah Jones with the 2026 Placer Conservator Award. Sarah is currently the Executive Director of Placer Resource Conservation District, but she has been working to protect our lands and natural resources for over two decades. Her work has covered a variety of areas including forestry, water resources, wildlife, agriculture, and climate change. Sarah masterfully brings agencies, landowners, nonprofits, and community partners together, and guides projects that improve the health of lands throughout Placer County.
The funds raised during Conservation Celebration Week are critical to our success as an organization, supporting Placer Land Trust’s work of protecting natural and agricultural land, restoring habitat, and enhancing outdoor recreation.
