Feather River Land trust announced that 1,025 acres of forest, meadow, and wildlife habitat in Plumas County, near Portola. FRLT acquired this scenic landscape to protect its conservation values and transferred it to local outdoor education youth nonprofit Sierra Nevada Journeys This will now be protected forever! The property—adjacent to Sierra Nevada Journeys’ existing outdoor education camp—more than doubles the acreage to engage 10,000+ youth annually in hands-on learning about science, land stewardship, and climate-resilience. It features outstanding wildlife habitat, springs, and Feather River tributaries, and it will remain intact and be a place for kids to learn and explore.
“This is far more than a land transaction—it’s an investment in our children and the landscapes they will inherit,” said Sean Hill, CEO of Sierra Nevada Journeys. “We’re deeply grateful for our partnership with the Feather River Land Trust, which ensures the permanent protection of an iconic Sierra landscape while opening extraordinary new opportunities for students.”
This conservation success was made possible with funding from CA Wildlife Conservation Board, CAL FIRE, and generous FRLT supporters. Learn more about the property and collaboration on the FRLT blog or at the link in bio!
