SFC ANNOUNCES 10, 361 ACRES OF NEWLY PROTECTED LANDS WITH THE CLOSING OF THE WALTZ-TURNER RANCH CONSERVATION EASEMENT!

SFC is excited to announce our largest acquisition to date, the 10,361- acre Waltz-Turner Ranch Conservation Easement! Spanning both Merced and Mariposa Counties, this expansive property begins in the vernal pool wetlands of the San Joaquin Valley and traverses over rolling annual grasslands and blue oak savannah to meet the oak woodlands and streams of the Sierra Nevada foothills. The Waltz-Turner Ranch CE is the largest link in SFC’s landscape-level strategy to forever protect the 50,000-acre Merced River and vernal pool grasslands conservation corridor, and brings SFC’s total acres conserved to 64,520! Thank you to all the partners and supporters who helped make this possible! Please join us in celebrating this landmark achievement for conservation and click below to read the full story.
