We are delighted to share that Placer Land Trust has purchased and permanently protected the North Fork of North Fork American River Preserve, 320 acres of steep forested canyon land near Emigrant Gap. The property includes approximately 1.2 river miles of the North Fork of North Fork American River, which feeds a federally-designated “Wild and Scenic River.”
Protection of this land contributes to water quality for a key public drinking water supply downstream, and will protect the property from being purchased for clear-cutting. The preserve also provides an intact forest buffer between logging activities on adjacent lands and the river, and protects a wildlife corridor and high-quality habitat for wildlife, including threatened species.
