Preserve

The Land Trust partners with the community to protect the places people cherish most through four conservation initiatives for protecting land people cherish most: Natural Lands, Parks for People, Working Lands, Land & Water and Permanent Preserve Network.

Over 53,000 acres protected – 10% of Napa County - in 35years and nearly 150 projects:
122 Conservation Agreements donated by over 80 property owners (properties stay in private ownership, but the Land Trust holds the land conservation agreement)
18 properties transferred to resource agencies (properties have been transferred to such agencies as Fish & Game and State Parks)
24 properties protected through ownership by the Land Trust (properties which are eventually transferred or become Permanent Preserves owned by the Land Trust)
21,819 Acres under Land Conservation Agreements
24,649 Acres transferred to State and Local Agencies
6,670 Acres owned by the Land Trust
53,138 Acres currently protected = 10% of the county
