Bear Yuba Land Trust dedicated the first Memorial

Bear Yuba Land Trust dedicated the first Memorial Forest in memory of Geri Bergen in September of last year and recently installed the signage in October on the anniversary of Geri’s passing.
⁠⠀
Geri Bergen is an inspiration to us all, serving as the first female line officer in the Forest Service and later as a board member and past president of BYLT as well as recipient of BYLT’s Conservation Leadership award.
⁠⠀
The Geri Bergen Memorial Forest at Woodpecker Wildlife Preserve in Nevada City commemorates those whose legacies live on forever. Pictured here are the memorial signs and Geri Bergen’s daughters.

These stunning views were captured while monitoring White Rock Lake, a 40 acre conservation easement that was established in 2014. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
White Rock Lake, located in the Grouse Ridge Headwaters Region Strategic Focus Area, fills in a key piece of protected lands within the checkerboard area of public and private ownership within the boundaries of the Tahoe National Forest (@tahoenationalforest). ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
The protection of this Property will benefit the people of Nevada County through the protection of timber productivity, scenic views, wildlife and plant habitats, and water resources.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Isn't it a beautiful sight 😍?⁠⠀

On May 8, Bear Yuba Land Trust signed a purchase and sale agreement for the acquisition of the 37-acre property on Birchville Road. On October 1, the property closed, making the first project in the Forever Farms Program a success! ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Now, ten cultivated acres and twenty acres of undeveloped woodlands are permanently protected thanks to the generous support from community members and Forever Farms Partners @briarpatchcoop @tahoefoodhub and @sierraharvest. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
This property, which produces over 40 different crops, has a single-family home plus a 2,400 square foot barn that would be made accessible to the farmers. The woodlands surrounding the farm offers opportunities for habitat restoration, trails and other types of agriculture. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
“This is a game changer and just the beginning,” said John Tecklin, owner of @MountainBountyFarm which feeds 850 households each week from Reno to Penn Valley “We are looking forward to building on the momentum of this campaign, and through Forever Farms, establishing a model that creates a lasting legacy.” ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Bear Yuba Land Trust is committed to conserving land to increase food security within the Bear and Yuba River watershed region. The acquisition of the land that Mountain Bounty Farm cultivates and stewards is just the first step towards creating a resilient community.
