WHAT WE DO
We strive to conserve and restore Shasta County's valuable natural resources and beautiful open spaces. We work with other agencies, local organizations and willing landowners to implement conservation and restoration projects. Ultimately our goal is to protect, conserve and preserve our county's resources for the future enjoyment of our unique local environment, including plants, animals, forests, rangelands, streams, soils and all of the ecosystems contained within.
CONSERVATION
The Shasta Conservation Fund manages conservation easements in Shasta County. These areas contain valuable natural resources that are protected in perpetuity for future generations.
RESTORATION
Shasta Conservation Fund partners with local organizations to restore forests, grasslands, wetlands, riparian areas, and open spaces to enhance habitat for the native species that depend on these critical areas for survival.
EDUCATION
At Shasta Conservation Fund, we are dedicated to stepping up our efforts in creating programs and events to educate citizens about the value of conservation of our natural areas and the unique species that inhabit these diminishing natural landscapes.
