Oakland Land Conservancy works with both public and private landowners to protect land through conservation easements
and other methods. We follow up by carefully managing the land we protect. Our educational programs and stewardship
days help children and adults learn to be better stewards of the land they care about.
All these efforts are conducted within the framework of a green infrastructure vision. Green infrastructure is defined
as a system of interconnected open space that preserves natural systems and water quality and provides benefit to human
populations.
We currently protect 81 acres in five nature preserves and 577 acres in eleven conservation easements. We assist with
the protection and stewardship of an additional 270 acres. Detailed descriptions of our protected lands and programs
are available in our Annual Report.
What's New at the Conservancy
THANK YOU TO OUR MEMBERSHIP!
We conducted three “neighborhood” annual meetings and collected proxy ballots and comment cards all
through the month of April. At our last meeting on April 30 at Seven Ponds Nature Center in Dryden –
we made the final vote and tallied the proxies. The vote was unanimously in favor of changing our name
from “Oakland Land Conservancy” to “Six Rivers Regional Land Conservancy” and the proxy ballets were
75 in favor and 2 against. We care what you think about us and about the work we do. And you told us
what you think – you can download the
Compiled Member Comments and read everyone’s comments.
WE ARE SIX RIVERS…
However, it will take most of the month of May to convert to the new name. You may see documents
and publications with one or the other or both names – so please be patient with us!
WE NEED YOU MORE THAN EVER!
