Yolo Land Trust (YLT) is committed to protecting soil, water, wildlife, and locally grown food by conserving farmland.
YLT conserves farms and ranches, and preserves their resources so they can remain farms forever. We have partnered with over 60 farmers to protect more than 13,000 acres of farmland from non-agricultural development. These permanently protected lands will remain farms forever.
Farms provide jobs to sustain Yolo County's strong agricultural economy. Food continues to be grown locally for all to enjoy. Hawks perch on trees and wildlife habitat is sustained. Soil is protected, not developed for urban purposes. Cyclists ride on the county roads and marvel at the change of the seasons, and children can enjoy pumpkin patches and watching ripe tomatoes roll down the road after harvest.
YLT is shaping the character of Yolo County for centuries to come by ensuring there will be farms and a thriving agricultural economy to support the community. Once our farmland and open space is paved over and developed, farms will be a distant memory and Yolo County will be another urban California city just like Los Angeles.
We all enjoy good quality fresh food and Yolo County farms are some of the most abundant in the world. Yolo County farms grow food that nourishes communities across the globe. We must protect these valuable farms and their resources. Yolo Land Trust is doing just that! Your donation to Yolo land Trust ensure we can continue this important work for years to come.
