The California Rangeland Trust celebrated a milestone in its mission to protect California’s natural resources and working landscapes—permanently conserving over 400,000 acres of rangeland through partnerships with 95 ranching families across the state.
This achievement was bolstered by the recent conservation of 1,500 acres on Willow Creek Ranch in Lassen County.
“These rangeland stewards are the heart and soul of California’s rural communities,” said Michael Delbar, Rangeland Trust CEO. “But as the state and nation face ongoing threats of losing hundreds of thousands of acres of farm and ranch land to development, our work is far from over. We must continue to seek collaborative solutions to safeguard these lands and the livelihoods they support.”
The Willow Creek project was completed in collaboration with the California Wildlife Conservation Board and the Natural Resources Conservation Service.
