Quick Facts:
- 10 acre property located near the Bear River in Colfax.
- Protected in 2017 by Conservation Easement granted by Pacific Gas and Electric Company and Placer County.
Recreation Asset
The Preserve was donated by Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) to Placer County and a conservation easement was simultaneously granted to Placer Land Trust to guarantee the land is protected forever.
