In one of the grandest conservation accomplishments under the Southern Nevada Public Land Management Act, the Fund helped the Bureau of Land Management acquire 533 acres of environmentally sensitive land and 2,938 acre-feet of associated water rights in Washoe Valley just east of Lake Tahoe. With additional support from the Bureau of Land Management, Falcon Capital, the USDA Forest Service and Washoe County, to date the Fund has conserved more than 2,000 acres of open space and 3,200 acre-feet of surface and ground water within Washoe Valley at the base of the Sierra Nevada Mountains.
The Garcia River Forest – a Conservation Fund-owned forest on California’s North Coast – became one of the first forests – and the largest – recognized by the California Climate Action Registry as a certified source of carbon credits.
