Your support is capital.
Your Oak Woodland gift grows a 34-year conservation legacy
As we prepare prospective projects for conservation protections, funding gaps call for matching funds. Oak woodland lands are already greatly diminished, with recent catastrophic wildfires impacting thousands of acres more. Protecting the remaining oak woodlands improve watershed health, groundwater recharge, and wildlife connectivity.
Our Capital Campaign goal is to raise $750,000 toward the opportunity to purchase in fee title or conservation agreement perpetual protections of key oak woodland properties, especially those contributing to connectivity.
Salt of the Earth supported time to write a successful 30x30 grant in support of NCRLT acquisitions!
When the California Council of Land Trusts announced this DOC block grant opportunity, NCRLT’s growing pile of prospective projects were in process thanks to a DOC Capacity Grant funding our part-time conservation director. CCLT’s award takes that role full-time, and develops talented and proficient conservation acquisitions support.
Your support of essential tasks is critical for NCRLT to maintain a long track-record of successful, impactful grant-writing for thoughtful research and partnership building! Thank YOU!
Thank you for helping to establish a conservation agreement for Abbey of our Lady of New Clairvaux, protecting it in perpetuity!
The Abbey of New Clairvaux is one of the most unique agricultural properties in the North State producing tomatoes, prunes, and walnuts in addition to there award-winning wine grapes. This project was the most extensive conservation easement NCRLT had the privilege to work on in our 33 year history! Your support established the project, and DOC SALC funding supported work to create the legally-binding, voluntary agreement, and purchased the easement that protects this gem in perpetuity. You made a difference!
