BYLT’s Strategic Plan for 2020-2024 guides BYLT in reaching its overarching goal for the coming years, which is to continue building a sustainable organization as we strategically grow our conservation footprint and deliver a valued public benefit to our local and downstream stakeholders.
Strategic Focus Areas
The landscapes within the Bear and Yuba River watersheds are endowed with a rich mosaic of forests, meadows, historical treasures, and small towns. The land sustains life and replenishes the spirit of the people who live here. Our quality of life is deeply connected to natural resources such as clean soil, air, and water.
The landscape of the Sierra Nevada foothills is changing. Development, conversion of lands, and climate change each pose threats to our scenic, natural, agricultural, and open lands. BYLT protects critical landscapes through conservation easements and purchase of preserves in cooperation with willing landowners, other nonprofit agencies and private sources.
