The only land trust serving Sutter, Yuba, and Colusa counties
Our mission
Our mission is to protect and maintain the natural and agricultural resources of the Sutter Buttes and the surrounding region for present and future generations.
The intersection of agriculture and conservation is the heartbeat of the Sutter Buttes region. From the Pacific Flyway to our local rice fields, these lands are the lifeblood of our ecosystem — and we believe protecting them and farming them are the same work.
Voluntary & landowner-led
Permanent by design
Our protections run in perpetuity, backed by annual monitoring and a stewardship endowment for every property we hold.
Locally governed
A volunteer board of local farmers, professionals, and neighbors sets our direction — decisions about this region are made here.
Accredited & accountable
Accreditation by the Land Trust Alliance holds us to national standards for ethics, finances, and stewardship.
Where we're headed
Our strategic plan sets the priorities guiding land protection, stewardship, and community engagement across the three counties we serve.
