The Nevada County Land Trust exists to create a balance between
nature and the needs
of the people who make a life and a livelihood
here. This is our home. Our mission is to enrich
the deep community
connection with our land — today, tomorrow, and forever.
The Nevada County Land Trust is a non-profit, membership-supported group promoting
voluntary conservation of our natural, historical and agricultural resources.
The Nevada County Land Trust endeavors to fulfill its mission through:
• Conservation easements, fee acquisition and other strategies.
• The management of lands held in trust.
• The support of sustainable economic productivity of working lands such as agricultural,
range and forest lands.
• Fulfilling unmet outdoor recreation needs.
• The preservation of heritage and aesthetic amenities that define our community’s unique character.
• Community outreach and public education.
The Nevada County Land Trust follows an American tradition of local land trusts which began
in the mid-1800's, and joins the efforts of more than 1,600 local land trusts nationwide.
