The Conservation Buyer Program partners conservation-minded buyers and sellers to preserve priority conservation land.
Through our Conservation Buyer Program, we provide information that brings conservation properties currently for sale to the attention of buyers who are interested in enjoying a spectacular property while helping to protect its ecological, scenic, and agricultural character.
CURRENT CONSERVATION LANDS FOR SALE
Chief Seattle & Joseph Wildlife Preserve
62 acres, conservation easement established in 2026
The Conservation Buyers Program is offering a rare opportunity: a 62-acre wildlife preserve available at no cost to a qualified organization or individual committed to conservation. The property comes with a number of stipulations to ensure its long-term stewardship and protection.
To learn more and discuss eligibility, call the property’s owner at (530) 559-1149. (Do not contact BYLT as we will simply refer you to the owner.)
LAND LEGACY DONORS
In certain cases, generous landowners will donate property to BYLT for resale to benefit our conservation and education work. Here is what you need to know:
- Donated properties range in size, some just a few acres.
- BYLT staff and board evaluate the donated property; if it is deemed to be of long-term conservation value, the property will be protected with a conservation easement prior to selling it to a conservation buyer.
- All proceeds from the sale are applied to our conservation work throughout the Bear and Yuba River watersheds.
