Nevada Land Trust, formerly Nevada Land Conservancy, is Nevada’s first independent nonprofit conservation land trust, working to protect key land, water, wildlife, recreational, historic, scenic, and agricultural resources in our state.  Nevada Land Trust (NLT) has helped to conserve over 42,000 acres of land and associated water rights since our founding in 1998, in areas such as the Tahoe Meadows, Granite Mountains, Little High Rock Canyon, Truckee River, Washoe Valley, and along the eastern front of the Sierra in Douglas County.  NLT holds conservation easements on working ranches in Churchill and Washoe counties, owns protected lands around Great Basin National Park near Baker and has helped enlarge Rancho San Rafael and Bartley Ranch regional parks in Reno.  Current projects can be found from the shores of Lake Tahoe and far northern Washoe and Humboldt counties into neighboring California and Oregon – all the way to Elko and Ely and everywhere in between.  Our urban projects are currently focused in and around Reno, Sparks, Carson City, Minden, and Gardnerville.  NLT’s restoration efforts range from rebuilding springs for wildlife on more remote acquisitions to shoring up damaged stream corridors immediately following the Caughlin and Washoe Drive wildfires.  NLT works collaboratively with landowners, communities, and agencies to conserve or restore single properties of significance – all the way to entire landscapes comprised of multiple parcels.  

We are Accredited Land Trust.
