From Our Board President, Christine Pieper
Dear friends,
Reflecting on 2024, I am deeply grateful for your support in conserving and celebrating Placer County’s natural beauty. You’re an essential part of this mission and we couldn’t do our work without you.
This year, two new preserves got us closer to the goal of protecting 25,000 acres of natural and agricultural lands in Placer County by 2030. To steward those preserves already in our care, Placer Land Trust partnered with community members and organizations to remove invasive species and reduce fuel loads. Community partnerships also helped us engage more people than ever before on our preserves this year. We’ve worked behind the scenes preparing for the connection of Hidden Falls Regional Park to our Big Hill Preserve. I hope to see you on those trails in 2025!
We are looking forward to 2025 and are ready to overcome challenges and celebrate many wins with you, our members, right by our side. Whether through volunteering, donations, or spreading the word about our mission, you play a crucial role in our success.
Thank you for being an integral part of the Placer Land Trust team. Together, we are creating a lasting legacy for future generations.
With appreciation and optimism,
Christine Pieper
Board President
Highlights of 2024
Lake Clementine & North Fork American River Preserve
In May, Placer Land Trust worked with the Trust for Public Land to permanently protect over 1500 acres of significant river canyon outside Auburn.
The property, formerly slated for a 94-unit housing development, includes Lake Clementine access and shoreline as well as 2.5 miles along the North Fork American River. The two land conservation organizations purchased the property and conveyed it to the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to ensure the land is forever held in the public trust.
Lincoln 1079 Ranch
In October, we protected Lincoln 1079 Ranch, a 581-acre working organic almond and rice ranch west of the City of Lincoln. An Agricultural Conservation Easement permanently protects the property from subdivision and development while allowing the landowners to continue their agricultural operations.
Located on the Auburn Ravine, the ranch is adjacent to land that is already protected for the Swainson’s hawk, and is also near another almond and rice ranch protected by Placer Land Trust via conservation easement. Together, these properties form a larger area of protected lands, providing habitat and migration paths for a wide variety of wildlife in addition to ensuring these lands will continue to support agriculture.
Community Connections
Through partnering with community organizations, businesses, and local and regional agencies, we can achieve so much more than we could than going alone. Here are a few highlights of 2024!
The Auburn Symphony and Placer Land Trust brought the best of their assets together for Symphony Under the Sky. Guests wandered the trails at Laursen Bear River Preserve, finding musician ensembles tucked in the trees and enjoying the sounds of Mozart or Bach in the meadow, and soaking in the benefits of nature.
This year, staff at the United Cerebral Palsy (UCP) of Sacramento and Northern California learned about our “Ramble & Roam” children’s program, and asked if we could adapt it for their program participants. We were delighted to do so! UCP families enjoyed an outing on our preserves complete with an observant trail and waterway walk, leaf-boat races, and nature sketching.
Partnerships also enabled us to tackle fuels reduction and fire safety projects. We teamed up with Placer Resource Conservation District (RCD) on their North Fork American River Shaded Fuel Break Phase 2 project to clear 41 acres of scotch broom, blackberry, and poison oak at Aeolia, Stagecoach, and Canyon View Preserves. The project was funded by CAL FIRE in partnership with Placer RCD.
We also partnered with the AmeriCorps NCCC Program to kick off a Shaded Fuel Break project at Kotomyan Big Hill Preserve. We worked on the fuel break all fall and winter, and ramped up our partnerships to complete the project by spring! We are so grateful for the support and teamwork we received from Placer County Department of Agriculture, Parks, and Natural Resources, who assisted with chipping the brush piles resulting from thinning. By the end of 2024, we completed approximately 2/3 of this 45-acre project.

Our Mission
Placer Land Trust works with willing landowners and conservation partners to permanently protect and care for natural and agricultural lands in Placer County for current and future generations.
Land Acknowledgment
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.
Forever Society Spotlight
“We are very pleased to include the Placer Land Trust in our estate plans. Their success in preserving the beautiful rural Sierra Nevada foothills makes them most deserving of our support.”
– Karl Mertz Jr. and Sarah Roeske, Forever Society members
Karl says: “Including the Land Trust is my way of saying a very profound thank you for the work and advocacy that your group conducts, including coordination with other land trusts in the region and the state. What you are accomplishing is astonishing, timely, and essential.
Sarah adds: “When we moved to Newcastle in 1990 I was drawn to this area in part because of the farming and ranching history. Becoming involved with the Placer Land Trust made me appreciate the richness of that culture and the need to help preserve it. I also greatly appreciate the Land Trust’s focus on American River acquisitions along the edge of the Auburn State Recreation area. The American River and its canyons are such an important ecological and recreational asset.”

In 2024, we made great strides toward protecting Clover Valley, one of the last remaining intact sections of oak woodlands in western Placer County. This has been a challenging project, but we are closer than ever to saving this precious gem from development, thanks to our partners and the support of the community!
