Grants supported the work of Placer Land Trust. As of July 2015, Placer Land Trust has protected over 8,000 acres of land that include natural habitat, family farms and ranches, river and canyon lands, and public parks and trails. Currently they are working to build a 20-mile trail system which will connect Coon Creek to the Bear River, and will be linked to 30 miles of trails already at Hidden Falls Regional Park, which will eventually create a 50 mile continuous trails system (unprecedented in the Sierra foothills).

Protecting and enhancing the land, including restoring habitat and building trails, ensures that natural wonders and natural playgrounds remain a part of our community, now and forever.
