Lassen Land & Trails Trust

Founded in 1987 to save the Historic Susanville Railroad Depot, Lassen Land & Trails Trust has spent decades conserving land and developing trails in northeastern California. The nonprofit works with private landowners on conservation easements that protect water resources, wildlife habitat, farms, and ranches. Its work also supports a regional trails network and public access to recreational lands. The Trust offers ways for community members to participate in conservation and stewardship, including educational activities. Its focus spans the varied landscapes of Lassen County, from alpine meadows to high-desert sage-steppe. The restored depot serves as the organization's office and a trailhead for the Bizz Johnson National Recreational Trail, which is managed jointly by federal agencies.
