Accomplishments Since our formation in 1998, Shasta Land Trust has been successful in a variety of lasting conservation projects that offer innumerable benefits to the public in our region.  In 2002, Shasta Land Trust purchased our first Conservation Easement which protects the 2,200 acre Fenwood Ranch along the Sacramento River.   Wildflowers at Fenwood Ranch Oak Run Creek on Hathaway Ranch   An Easement on River Ranch in the Fall River Valley followed in 2004, and in 2006 the Hathaway Ranch Easement was completed.  Also in 2006, an easement was donated to Shasta Land Trust. In 2007 the Trust purchased property in Tehama County which it is donating to the adjacent Ishi Wilderness.   In March of 2009, Shasta Land Trust completed the conservation easement for the Cow Creek Ranch .  Later in 2009, the Fall River Ranch conservation easement was completed, protecting over 400 acres along beautiful Fall River.    In late 2010, we completed our most recent conservation easment project, which permanently conserves the 5,000 acre Rickert Brothers Ranch .  With the completion of this project, SLT has protected over 20,000 acres of important properties and landscapes of our region. Shasta Land Trust also participates in a variety of partnerships with other organizations.  In the past, we have worked with a great variety of partners at agencies and non-profits to help develop long-range planning for this region.  Shasta Land Trust has also collaborated with other land trusts in the state to create the Sierra-Cascade Land Trust Council and the California Council of Land Trusts.  Shasta Land Trust also participated in the creation of the Sierra Nevada Conservancy, a legislatively established organization dedicated to conservation in the Sierra Nevada region.
