Here at Shasta Conservation Fund we partner with the Western Shasta Resource Conservation District and other agencies and landowners to manage conservation easements in Shasta County.
​
Conservation easements are areas of undeveloped land that contain valuable resources that are protected and preserved for the native species that depend on native habitat.
​
Conservation easements help protect water resources, native plant communities and the local wildlife that live within our developed communities.
​
CONSERVATION AND OPENÂ SPACE
Open space conservation within developed communities serve to protect the environment, improve the quality of life, while preserving elements of local native species. Conservation provides natural beauty and recreation for those in the area while protecting the natural habitat that native species depend upon for survival. It provides opportunity for citizens to learn the concept of and appreciate open space conservation. Continuing to protect and increase natural areas promotes home values, influences the community, and continues to help raise the quality of life. So now that you know more, get out and explore those open space areas near you!
