NEW! We’re Excited to Announce BYLT’s Conservation Buyer Program
Bear Yuba Land Trust has a unique knowledge of the lands of Nevada and Yuba Counties, across a diverse range of habitats, from the blue oak woodlands and rangelands to the forests in the headwaters region with an abundance of outdoor recreational amenities. Through our Conservation Buyer Program, we provide information that brings conservation properties currently for sale to the attention of buyers who are interested in enjoying a spectacular property while helping to protect its ecological, scenic and agricultural character
Current Conserved Lands For Sale
Smiling Owl Preserve – 45 acres located in the mixed conifer forests of the Sierra Nevada foothills. With frontage on Deer Creek and two beautiful eco-friendly homes, this land is well suited for a conservation buyer with a desire to steward this forest and call Nevada City home.
Land Legacy Donors
In certain cases, generous landowners will donate property to BYLT for resale to benefit our conservation and education work. Here is what you need to know:
Donated properties range in size, some just a few acres. BYLT staff and board evaluate the donated property; if it is deemed to be of long-term conservation value, the property will be protected with a conservation easement prior to selling it to a conservation buyer. All proceeds from the sale are applied to our conservation work throughout the Bear and Yuba River watersheds.
