Placer Land Trust (PLT) and Trust for Public Land (TPL) recently announced the protection of more than 1,500 acres of significant river canyon along Lake Clementine and the North Fork American River in the Sierra Nevada foothills.
The property, located between Applegate and Foresthill, includes Lake Clementine access and shoreline as well as 2.5 miles along the North Fork American River. The two land conservation organizations purchased the property from private developers and have now conveyed it to the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to ensure the land is held in the public trust.
