The Truckee-Donner Land Trust
has been protecting and preserving scenic and historic land in the greater
Truckee area for more than 25 years. Past and current projects are
targeted based on their high natural resource value with the goal of
encouraging sustainable public use on these properties. Their success stories
are too many to name, but anyone who recreates in the Truckee/Donner area on
trails is likely enjoying the great outdoors on a parcel of land that the Land
Trust helped to protect or bring into public use.
The Land Trust is very
proactive in encouraging community involvement whether it be through donations,
trail work or other outdoor events. Recently the 2018 Summer Hiking Series was
announced which will include over 40 hikes at 11 different properties this
summer. Some highlights include The Royal Gorge Rim Trail, Perazzo Meadows, Mt.
Lola and Castle Valley just to name a few. There are hikes suitable for people
of all ages and a variety of options for different distances and difficulty. Hikes
are guided by a docent and there are detailed descriptions on the TDLT website for
all of the hiking options.
Registration is open now for
the upcoming summer season. This is an amazing opportunity to see some of the
most beautiful and unspoiled land in the region. Get out there and enjoy.
