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 helped protect more than 10,000 acres in Santa Cruz County by working with willing landowners.  In 2006 the Land Trust Board adopted a new strategic plan which envisions the protection of thousands of acres of land during the next decade.  In September of 2006 we were selected to receive $4.5 million in state and federal conservation funds to protect through conservation easements over 560 acres of prime Pajaro Valley farmland.
