Siskiyou Land Conservancy is a small but effective non-profit organization in Northern California dedicated to protecting biological diversity and promoting sustainable living. Our work covers five counties containing key habitat for many endangered species:
Humboldt
Mendocino
Del Norte
Siskiyou
Trinity
Our projects are many. Siskiyou Land Conservancy currently owns two parcels. Our 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. We 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. We are currently involved in restoration projects on two of these properties. (See projects for more information.)
Siskiyou Land Conservancy is also dedicated to protecting fish habitat throughout Northern California, particularly on the Klamath and Smith Rivers. In addition, our Sustainable Communities Program assists North Coast residents who want information and resources for living lighter on the planet.

Mr. King,
I was very excited to hear your radio interview yesterday and thought I should get in touch.
As the Coordinator of the Pacific Coast Joint Venture (California), I’m always keen to hear more about land conservation efforts in our region.
We are a public/private partnership involving state and federal agencies, non-profits, local tribal organizations, industry as well as individuals (see our website). Our focus is the conservation of upland and wetland bird habitat, but many of our partners are involved in projects protecting anadromous fish habitat as well.
We’d be very interested in hearing about your conservation efforts. Would you or your colleagues be available to give a talk at one of our meetings?
Our meetings are also great opportunities to find funding partners and funding opportunities.
Best wishes,
Sharon Kahara
