Preservation and Conservation of Lands in Shasta County: The Nuts & Bolts of Conservation
November 12 @ 5:30 pm - 6:30 pm
Join the Sierra Club at this practical, behind-
the-scenes talk when the Director of
Conservation from Shasta Land Trust will pull
back the curtain on how conservation
easements are executed, from the first spark of
an idea to long-term stewardship on the
ground. The presentation will highlight what it
means when land is protected in perpetuity- in
other words, forever- and how Shasta Land
Trust’s conservation strategies address
development pressure, climate change, and
resource concerns within the region. It will also emphasize the people and support that make this
work possible, including the critical role of landowners and donors, funding sources, key
partnerships, and meaningful volunteer opportunities to help see a project through. Social time at
5:30 with free refreshments and pizza. Speaker will start at 6 pm.
