Greetings!
 
May is a great time to get out and explore, check out the incredible diversity of migratory birds, canoe the wetlands, and just enjoy being outside (at last!).

Ready to get your hands dirty? Join us for volunteer days on the land. We'll have lots of events and opportunities for getting to know the Feather River region this season. We look forward to seeing you on the land!
  
Best regards,

In December 2010, the Feather River Land Trust purchased a conservation easement that protects Plumas County's oldest working family ranch - the Pearce Family Ranch. Now it's time to celebrate!

 

June 25, 10am - noon, Taylorsville, CA 

 

Enjoy refreshments and learn about the history of the ranch and the land trust's work to protect it. Then hike on the land with landowner Susy Pearce.

 

After the dedication, enjoy the festivities at Job Taylor Pioneer Days. The Hardgrave/Pearce Ranch was purchased from Job Taylor 6 generations ago. Thanks to the help of our local community and generous donors, the Pearce Family can continue to ranch and steward the land long into the future. Stay tuned for more details!
