<< More about us >>
A conservation easement is a way for a landowner to permanently protect the conservation values of his or her land while continuing to own it. It is a legal agreement between a landowner ("grantor") and a land trust ("grantee") that permanently limits development. Conservation easements are tailor made to meet the needs of an individual landowner and can cover an entire parcel or portions of a property. Tax benefits and/or financial compensation are often available for grantors of conservation easements.

Take a Hike! Trail Run and Hiking Event Saturday, June 2nd.
The Northern California Regional Land Trust is promoting the American Hiking Society's National Trails Day on Saturday, June 2, 2012, with a hike and trail run in Upper Bidwell Park. This annual event will be a great opportunity to get involved in the care of our local parks, promote healthy lifestyles, and support local land conservation. Attendees will have the option of participating in a 10K trail run or hikes of either 3.5 or 2.5 miles. After the fun in Upper Park, there will be an afterparty at Manzanita Place with music, food, drinks and activities for the whole family! Proceeds from this event will benefit the Northern California Regional Land Trust and the conservation of working and wildlands in Butte, Glenn and Tehama counties.
Our First Fee Title Acquisition

On March 30, 2012, Western Rivers Conservancy and the Northern California Regional Land Trust completed the permanent conservation of one of the last remaining unprotected portions of Deer Creek, a rarity in California for its strong runs of threatened spring Chinook salmon and winter steelhead.
Western Rivers Conservancy purchased the 600-acre property, which includes the Lower Deer Creek Falls, in 2009. Besides protecting strong fish runs, this acquisition also establishes a continuous corridor for fish, wildlife and recreation between the Lassen National Forest and the Ishi Wilderness. Conveying this property into conservation will expand visitor's access to the area's hiking trails and waterfalls. The property connects to a complex of trails, including the trail to Lower Deer Creek Falls. In December 2011, California's Wildlife Conservation Board approved funding that enabled Western Rivers Conservancy to convey the property to the Land Trust.
