Sierra Nevada conservation, Donner Lake Rim Trail, Truckee trails

From scenic Schallenberger Ridge that rises above Donner Lake to the popular Truckee River Canyon, the Truckee Donner region boasts breathtaking mountains, lakes, canyons and rivers that make our community’s natural beauty like no other.

Truckee Donner Land Trust works with landowners, government agencies and the public to protect:

Critical open space and greenbelts in the Truckee Donner region;
Natural areas that aren’t yet threatened by imminent development and therefore are more affordable; and
Large open spaces that are threatened by immediate development and therefore expensive, but also of great value to the community.

We have protected more than 16,000 acres of natural areas in the Truckee Donner region, and have plans to protect another 24,500 acres in the coming years with a value of over $70,000,000.

Completed Projects
To date, the Truckee Donner Land Trust has protected more than 16,000 acres.
