Here are a few of the ranches we are working to protect in Nevada County - 800 acres near ‪Spenceville Wildlife Area‬ and 700 acres along Wolf Creek just outside of ‪Grass Valley‬. We have submitted applications to the State for funding to keep these lands forever available for agriculture. •
This week we toured these special places with the landowners, who have spent their lifetimes fighting to keep them open and productive, and the California Department of Conservation, who has benefited from increased funding to purchase Agricultural Conservation Easements through the Cap-and-Trade Program in California. •
California cap-and-trade program, launched in 2013, is one of a suite of major policies the state is using to lower its greenhouse gas emissions. California’s program is the fourth largest in the world. California’s emissions trading system is expected to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from regulated entities by more than 16 percent between 2013 and 2020, and by an additional 40 percent by 2030. It is a central component of the state’s broader strategy to reduce total greenhouse gas emissions to 1990 levels by 2020 and 40 percent below 1990 levels by 2030.
•
These ranches not only contribute to the beauty of our community while also connecting us to the land and our agricultural roots, but they are a crucial component of climate change adaptation.

We couldn't do this work without your support. Thank you for caring about the land and how we leave it for future generations! #gratitudefriday

Today's Volunteer Appreciation post is for all of the volunteers who helped as Administrative Assistants this year! Administrative Assistant volunteers help with a variety of tasks in the office- the largest of which is sending out letters during our mass mailing events. This year, 2,500 letters got sent out for our Trails Appeal mailing, and volunteers regularly assisted with Membership calls. Thank you to all of the volunteers who dedicated over 75 hours as Administrative Assistants this year! 📂📎📒 Have a few hours a month to help?
