Bear Yuba Land Trust, a non-profit organization based in Nevada County, has conserved 18,000 acres and built or maintained 45+ miles of trails in the Bear and Yuba watersheds of California’s Sierra Nevada foothills and mountains.   With the assistance of BYLT and an attorney specializing in Land Trusts, Nina Allen drafted the conservation easement document to perpetrate her intentions of responsible stewardship of Smiling Owl Preserve.  Below is a downloadable copy of the conservation easement deed.
