Your support has protected 40,000 acres of open space - what could have happened if some of those lands weren't preserved?

Thanks to you, the Wild Side of Downtown is protected! We are grateful to you, your friends, families and neighbors that contributed more than $3 million to save Truckee Springs and open it for the public to enjoy.

We are approaching the finish line - help us save the Wild Side of Downtown! Find out why Truckee Mayor Anna Klovstad supports Truckee Springs, and why you should too. (You may notice that the video says Vice Mayor - this was filmed before being voted Mayor, congrats Anna!)

The Land Trust needs your help! Our new sign, pictured below hanging in front of our new office, has gone missing. We would love to get it back, so if you've seen it, please reach out to us at [email protected] or (530)582-4711. Thanks!

Mark your calendars: reservations for Webber Lake Campground open on March 1 for camping starting July 1. We'll open earlier dates for camping later in the spring as we get a better picture of snow melt and when we're able to open.

We think this beautiful timelapse of the Milky Way over Webber Lake by Phil Mosby Photography is a fitting way to ring in the new year. Thanks to all of you for your ongoing support, and we can't wait to see you on the trail in 2021.

Did you know that even if you take the standard deduction, you can also deduct up to $300 in donations this year? Click below to find out more, and we hope you'll consider an end-of-year gift to conservation in the northern Sierra.
