Feather River Land Trust
Trosi Canyon Ranch in the Sierra Valley
The Feather River Land Trust, the Sierra Business Council, the California Wildlife Conservation Board, and landowner Alfred Gassiot completed a conservation easement on the 1,360-acre Trosi Canyon Ranch in the Sierra Valley, the largest mountain valley in California. The conservation easement will protect the Trosi Canyon Ranch from development and help maintain the property as a working cattle ranch while conserving outstanding wildlife habitat, scenic vistas, and water quality in the headwaters of the Middle Fork of the Feather River. The conservation easement will help ensure that Sierra Valley, 30 minutes from Reno and Truckee, maintains its open spaces and ranching heritage for generations to come.

The Trosi Canyon Ranch provides key migratory and wintering habitat for the Doyle Deer Herd and is home to more than 100 bird species. The easement also protects spectacular scenic vistas along Highway 70, a State Scenic Highway. Wildlife, open space, and scenery make the Sierra Valley, a popular tourist destination, one of the most majestic valleys in the western U.S. People come from throughout California and the U.S. to sight-see, hunt, fish, watch wildlife, and celebrate the agricultural heritage of the valley.
