Mission: The siskiyou land conservancy is a state and federally approved non-profit organization that assists landowners who want to protect the natural values of their land, either through purchase or establishment of conservation easements.
Programs: Siskiyou land conservancy is a small non-profit organization in northern california dedicated to protecting biological diversity and promoting sustainable living. Our work covers five counties(humboldt, del norte, mendocino, trinity and siskiyou) containing key habitat for many endangered species. Siskiyou land conservancy is dedicated to protecting fish habitat throughout northern california, particularly on the klamath and smith rivers. In addition, the sustainable communities program assists north coast residents who want information and resources for living lighter on the planet. The projects of the organization are many. Siskiyou land conservancy currently owns two parcels. The eel river property protects 160 acres and nearly one mile of critical spawning habitat for endangered coho salmon. The other parcel, 80 acres on the smith river, protects rare plant habitat. The organization also hold three conservation easements. One of the easements protects 148 acres on the south fork smith river, another protects 163 acres in western mendocino county, and the third protects 73 acres in southern humboldt county. Restoration projects are currently underway on two of these properties.
