PROJECT NAME:
Trinity Divide Acquisition
GRANTEE:
Pacific Crest Trail Association
RESULT:
10,600 acres protected

We funded Pacific Crest Trail Association’s Trinity Divide Conservation Project to acquire 10,600 acres of wild lands that include 17 miles of the Pacific Crest Trail. PCTA successfully completed the acquisition, which also protects the headwaters of four rivers, and opens public access to alpine lakes, trout streams, campsites and mountain meadows that are currently on closed private lands.
