525 acres near Auburn could be protected forever. Here's what Placer County would pay
A 525-acre property northwest of Auburn could soon be permanently protected from housing development, expanding a large network of open space across western Placer County. The Placer County Board of Supervisors voted Tuesday to approve draft agreements to preserve the property, known as Harvego Bear River Preserve Phase 2. The land is near the Auburn Valley Country Club community and adjoins other protected land. The property is mostly covered by blue oak woodlands and used for cattle grazing. It has also been considered for housing development and could accommodate about 128 homes under current zoning. The proposed conservation easement would permanently prohibit development while protecting wildlife habitat, oak trees and ranching activities. If the deal is completed, the property would help connect more than 7,000 acres of protected land and grazing areas between the Bear River, Raccoon Creek and Hidden Falls Regional Park. “Preserving these beautiful oak woodlands is about safeguarding our natural heritage, supporting healthy ecosystems and ensuring future generations can enjoy the same extraordinary landscapes that we get to enjoy today,” Board of Supervisors chair Shanti Landon said. How much will it cost taxpayers? Placer Land Trust has agreed to purchase the 525-acre property from Harvego Real Estate
