What Is a Land Trust?
California Land Trusts: Protecting the Best of California for Californians
More than 150 land trusts work in local communities throughout California. Together, they share a common vision for conserving California's natural areas and farmlands, and keeping California the beloved place that Californians call home.
California land trusts perform the essential work of partnering with local communities and landowners to identify, protect and steward important conservation lands to benefit Californians.
Ensuring Californians' Quality of Life
Californians need clean water and air, places to play and rejuvenate, healthy and affordable food, scenic beauty, and natural areas to experience and learn. Land trusts protect the lands that provide these benefits. These lands are critical to the well being of Californians -- to our quality of life, our children's future and our love of California.
Working in Local Communities
Land trusts are rooted in local communities, and work to protect local places of value and importance. Land trust board members, staff and volunteers reside in the areas they work. They join with fellow community members to respond to local needs and protect local places. Together, through community after community, it adds up to protecting the best of California.
Fostering Partnerships
Land trusts work through partnerships. They bring together local community members, landowners, public and private funders, non-profit organizations, and public agencies to protect and steward the land. Land trusts' partnerships are unique responses to local needs and priorities, landowner desires, and the conservation goals for a property.
Together, we can protect the best of California. Join your local land trust today.
