Jamestown California The First Outreach Meeting

I highly recommend visiting the beautiful and historic town of Jamestown, California. It is known for its quaint streets and its Railroad Museum, which has an active tourist train that offers quick tours of the rolling hills, farms, and woods on the outskirts of town. Jamestown is only an hour from Yosemite National Park and is located along Highway 49 and 108, just outside of Sonora. The Mother Lode Land Trust is here to help landowners obtain funding to conserve their land and their legacy.

Ellie Routt, the long-time executive director of MLLT, was the lead presenter for the community members and landowners. She gave a compelling PowerPoint presentation that sparked lively discussion about options for land conservation in Tuolumne County.

Some of the topics discussed were public access, conservation easements, and the availability of public funding. After the presentations, snacks and coffee were served, and attendees were given the opportunity to ask additional questions and to identify important conservation areas in Tuolumne County.

This is the inaugural public meeting in a series of meetings planned to take place over the next several years.We cordially invite you to our next landowner outreach meeting, which will be held on October 18th at 6pm at the Plymouth City Hall in Amador County.We are planning to hold meetings in Calaveras County in the upcoming year, and then return to Tuolumne County after the meetings in Calaveras County have concluded.
