During this fiscal year, PLT successfully protected an additional 2,147 acres through two significant projects, increasing the total land protected to 21,076.5 acres. Highlights of the year include: Lincoln 1079 Ranch - A 581-acre organic almond and rice ranch that is now permanently protected as agricultural land and Lake Clementine & North Fork American River Preserve - Over 1,500 acres of critical river canyon habitat near Auburn formerly slated for residential development, which was conveyed to the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to ensure permanent conservation. These accomplishments reflect PLTs commitment to safeguarding vital landscapes for the benefit of current and future generations. 1541994 0 235770 Placer Land Trust actively manages the properties it owns to ensure public benefits are preserved now and for future generations in perpetuity. When feasible we work to enhance the public value of these properties by restoring wildlife habitats, controlling non-native invasive species, reducing fuel loads, improving public access, and more. For example, we own vernal pool and wetland preserves in western Placer County, including Doty Ravine Preserve and Swainsons Grassland Preserves. On these properties we protect endangered species, manage invasive species, restore and enhance wetland and upland habitat, reduce fuel loads, and conduct educational tours. Additionally, we protect agricultural lands from urban sprawl, ensuring that viable, productive farmland remains available in perpetuity to support regional, community, and national food needs. 96064 0 0 Community Engagement Placer Land Trust recognizes the significant health and quality-of-life benefits associated with time spent in nature. To promote outdoor access and engagement, in addition to acquisition and protection, we focus on creating opportunities for the public to enjoy our preserves. Key activities include (a) Building and Maintaining Trails - Trails are designed and maintained for hiking, running, mountain biking, and horseback riding; (b) Volunteer-Led Hikes and Tours - Docents guide recreational and educational hikes and tours to encourage public connection with nature; (c) Collaborative Partnerships - We work with various partners including recreational and outdoor education organizations to provide diverse public experiences; (d) Land Stewardship Activities - Community members participate in activities such as invasive species removal (e.g., Scotch broom clearing), tree planting, fuel reduction, and trail maintenance. Our outreach efforts, led primarily by volunteers with staff and board oversight, are inclusive and designed to engage people of all ages. We emphasize reaching traditionally underserved populations to ensure equitable access to nature and its benefits. 1712129 true true false true false false true false false true true false false true true true true false false false false false false false true false false true false true false false false false false false false false true true false false false false false false false true 14 0 13 true false false false false false true true false false false false false false X 10 10 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true false false CA X THE ORGANIZATION 5308879222 922 LINCOLN WAY SUITE 200 AUBURN CA 95603 CHRISTINE PIEPER PRESIDENT 4.00 X X 0 0 0 FRED YEAGER DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 LOREN CLARK VICE PRESIDENT 2.00 X X 0 0 0 RICH FERRERIA DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 ROBERT GILLIOM TREASURER 5.00 X X 0 0 0 JIM HAAGEN-SMIT SECRETARY 2.00 X X 0 0 0 CATHY JOHNSON DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 BARBARA BRENNER DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 ACHINI BANDARA DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 DOUG HOUSTON DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 JEFF DARLINGTON EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 40.00 X 154232 0 4627 KATE NITTA DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 154232 0 4627 1 false true false 3313991 5858534 2199301 9172525 CONVEYANCE FEES 900099 607921 0 0 GRAZING LEASES 900099 41450 0 0 FUNDING AGREEMENTS 900099 15310 0 0 MITIGATION FEES 900099 38590 0 0 703271 504595 0 504595 6237913 6291801 -53888 -53888 0 0 -53888 29696 50031 -20335 0 -20335 Other 900099 7718 7718 0 0 7718 10313886 710989 0 430372 500000 500000 154232 109798 25603 18831 847788 603540 140733 103515 47445 33776 7876 5793 83005 59091 13779 10135 76613 54541 12718 9354 8044 7618 426 0 56608 27942 28666 0 114525 0 114525 0 19688 14907 2621 2160 19853 14133 3296 2424 32058 22822 5322 3914 3557 2660 438 459 23581 19145 4436 0 23118 16458 3837 2823 Acquisition 16667 16667 0 0 Dues and subscriptions 13406 9544 2225 1637 Fundraising 10737 0 0 10737 REAL PROPERTY MANAGEMENT 47016 47016 0 0 182039 152471 22651 6917 2279980 1712129 389152 178699 1063 805 856628 1054462 73819 67195 271194 274618 316397 199268 131002 117129 14331086 16781472 78886961 85389963 94551753 103685644 243153 433393 413744 293251 4063237 2590964 4720134 3317608 X 2907643 3770835 86923976 96597201 89831619 100368036 94551753 103685644 8033906 1055213 1447297 X X false true X true false X 0 2575281 3917869 860842 1374101 3065786 11793879 0 0 2575281 3917869 860842 1374101 3065786 11793879 1100809 10693070 203697 195292 220756 275666 504595 1400006 0 0 13193885 0.81050 0.76450 X 0 0 0 RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED false false false false false true 10000 false false false 10000 Pt II-B Line 1 Placer Land Trust issued a grant to another tax-exempt organization for the purpose of the other organization conducting lobbying activities.
