The Rodman Preserve totals 280 acres with the land trust owning and operating 132 acres as a wildlife preserve.

The Black Forest


The Black Forest

The Lake County Land Trust facilitated the purchase of the Black Forest on the northeast slope of Mt. Konocti. The Black Forest consists of 255 acres of old growth and second growth Douglas fir. The forest was slated for logging, when the Land Trust stepped in and purchased the land until the Bureau of Land Management was able to receive funding for the final purchase.  Learn more about the Black Forest ...

Protecting Your Land With A Conservation Easement
Conservation easements have helped thousands of families protect millions of acres of open space. With a conservation easement, you can permanently protect your land without giving up ownership. You can continue to live on it and use it, and can sell it or pass it on to heirs.

What's more you can reduce future estate taxes-taxes that otherwise could rob your children of their legacy and result in the destruction of one more beautiful piece of land.  Learn more about Conservation Easements...
