Since being founded in 1989, the American River Conservancy
has completed over 65 conservation projects, protecting over 10,700 acres of
fisheries, wildlife habitat, endangered species habitat, recreational lands
and scenic vistas in El Dorado County. The Conservancy has carefully chosen
the properties it acquires - lands that adjoin existing public lands and
extend existing wildlife and greenbelt corridors. And by preserving open space,
stream water quality and regional air quality, the quality of life for local
residents is preserved as well.
The American River Conservancy is the only local organization
operating within the private market system to protect open space by working
with willing sellers and donors. We generally protect lands in one of two
ways: through fee title acquisition or through conservation easements, each
of which we can purchase, which we do at fair market prices, or through donations
from the landowner.
To learn more about acquisitions and easements, read through the section entitled "Tools that Land Trusts Use" on the Sierra Nevada Alliance web site.
