How does the American River Conservancy protect rivers and land? The Conservancy works with landowners to protect land in the following ways: •Fee title acquisition: The landowner sells or donates all or a portion of his or her property to the Conservancy. We then manage the property in perpetuity or transfer ownership to an appropriate public agency for management. •Conservation Easements: A restriction placed on a piece of property to protect its associated resources. The easement is either donated or sold by the landowner and is a legally binding agreement that limits certain types of uses or prevents development in perpetuity while the land remains in private ownership. •Conservation Buyers: A conservation buyer is an individual who wishes to purchase and protect property with natural, agricultural, scenic or historic attributes while enjoying the benefits of private land ownership. Conservation buyers fill a unique niche when the Conservancy finds a special property for which grants are not available or funding is more difficult to secure. •Management Agreements: The Conservancy works with private landowners or public agencies to develop mangement plans and strategies that complement and enhance native habitat, cultural and recreational resources.
For more information about protecting your land for future generations, please contact Alan Ehrgott or Elena DeLacy at (530) 295-2190.
