Founding & History
History of Placer Land Trust
In 1991, Placer County community leaders founded Placer Land Trust, a private nonprofit organization dedicated to protecting and preserving valuable natural, historic, and agricultural lands in Placer County.
At its inception, the organization Placer Land Trust & Nature Center combined the land trust operations with the operations of the Placer Nature Center in Christian Valley. In late 2002, Placer Land Trust and Placer Nature Center became two separate nonprofit organizations.
