Dear Friends:
It's not too late to make a special gift this year to your friends, your family, and your community.
For 25 years, Foothill Conservancy has worked in Amador and Calaveras counties to effectively
Your tax-deductible donation e
- Ensuring that the Wild and Scenic River study for the Mokelumne River called for by AB 142 properly takes the river's outstanding values into account. AB 142 passed with our support and has moved the Mokelumne closer to permanent protection as a California Wild and Scenic River. Starting January 1, the river will receive interim protections that will prevent new dams and diversions between Salt Springs and Pardee through as long as the end of 2021.
- Ensuring the Calaveras and Amador County General Plan updates protect rural community character and open space while laying the groundwork for a sustainable economy. Our team of volunteers and paid consultants submitted extensive comments on the draft EIR for the Amador plan and the Calaveras Planning Coalition, to which we belong, is fighting efforts to gut the good work done earlier on that draft plan update.
- Restoring salmon to the upper Mokelumne River for the first time since the large Mokelumne dams were built.
- Supporting the work of the Amador-Calaveras Consensus Group as it makes our communities safer from the threat of wildland fire, forests better able to handle fire, and our economy stronger. Our participation in the ACCG provides a strong voice for the environment along with an emphasis on local jobs for local residents.
- Developing and promoting sound local policies to protect local ranches, farms and forests.
You can don
ate online using any major credit card. An ongoing, monthly donation is especially helpful, as it provides us with stable, predictable income through the year.
Donations by check are also welcome. If you put your check in the mail before January 1, it'll count as a tax-deductible donation for this tax year.
