Charter members

In early 2000, Founder Paul Hardy and Founding Board President Mike Yost approached individuals they thought would believe in the vision of forming the Feather River Land Trust. These 40 charter members contributed funds that enabled the Land Trust to hire its first staff and rent office space to accomplish its new vision and mission. We are grateful to these visionary supporters!

Later that year, FRLT sent out its first fundraising letter. Many more local people signalled their love of these lands and belief in our newly founded land trust with their generous gifts. Many of these founding members continue to support our work today, and have been joined by over 1,100 more.

We are grateful to be working alongside them to conserve the Feather River region’s important headwaters and habitats.
