What We Protect
The Land Trust of Santa Cruz County is dedicated to protecting and caring for the lands we love. We protect both working lands, like farms and timberland, and natural lands with high conservation value – thus protecting water supplies, wildlife habitats, and open space.
We have directly protected more than 3,350 acres and worked with other organizations to protect another 8,500 acres in Santa Cruz County by working with willing landowners. In 2009 the Land Trust Board adopted a new strategic plan which called for the development of a Conservation Blueprint for Santa Cruz County. The Blueprint will guide the Land Trust’s work over the next 25-years and help protect 50,000 priority acres in our county.
