Land Acknowledgement:

 We at the Sutter Buttes Regional Land Trust acknowledge that our mission of protecting and maintaining the natural and agricultural resources in and around the region currently called the Sutter Buttes was carried out by members of local indigenous tripes for thousands of years. We acknowledge that this indigenous stewardship was disrupted, leading to a loss of cultural heritage and a loss of native plants and animals. We acknowledge that people with ancestral connections to the land are still here among us today, and that a myriad of people consider these lands sacred. 

Join Today and Help Us Serve Sutter, Colusa
and Yuba Counties

Each year, our collective efforts through the land trust make a significant impact, and we’re excited to share the incredible progress we’ve achieved together. Thanks to your support, we’ve successfully protected over 4,700 acres of conservation lands, preserving the natural beauty, agricultural heritage, and wildlife of our region for generations to come.

This year, we’re proud to announce a major milestone: by re-structuring our membership benefits to include exclusive access to our annual calendar, we’ve turned it into a successful fundraiser for the first time ever, raising vital funds to support our mission.

As a member, you are at the heart of every project we undertake. Your membership directly supports efforts to:

  • Protect land within the Sutter Buttes and surrounding areas
  • Maintain critical habitats along the Pacific Flyway for migrating waterfowl
  • Preserve vital agricultural lands that sustain our local farming community and economy

Your support lays the groundwork for all our land protection initiatives, providing the resources, connections, and expertise needed to ensure the success of these important projects. With many exciting endeavors underway, your membership this year will continue to make a lasting difference in conserving the natural and agricultural resources we cherish.

Join us in protecting the Sutter Buttes and beyond—together, we’re creating a legacy of conservation!
