About the Yolo Land Trust
From the Blue Ridge to Clarksburg and from Davis to Dunnigan, Yolo Land Trust has a long history of helping landowners preserve the landscape. Our local networks of farmland, rangeland, stream corridors, wetlands and oak woodlands weave together to drive the economy, support wildlife and help make Yolo County a wonderful place to live and work.
With our focus on protecting the farm, open space and habitat lands in Yolo County, Yolo Land Trust offers long-term solutions to difficult land preservation issues. Yolo County lands are wedged between the ever expanding Bay Area and Sacramento. At risk are prime agricultural soils, pure water, quiet country roads, and our rural atmosphere.
To date, Yolo Land Trust has helped landowners place conservation easements almost 9000 acres, permanently protecting their land for future generations. Still, there is so much more we can do. Yolo Land Trust understands that the landscapes we love - that give us a sense of place, nurturing and sustaining our bodies and spirits with fertile soils and open vistas – depend on the success of local farming.
