Yuba Highlands

Once approved for 5,000 new homes, Yuba Highlands is an iconic California landscape of rolling grasslands and scattered oaks. Adjacent to the Spenceville Wildlife Area and the Beale Air Force Base, the Highlands property contributes to over 34,000 acres of protected, contiguous open space in the Yuba Foothills. The project represents a unique partnership between conservationists, the Department of Defense, and Department of Fish and Game, all working together to protect a landscape from development.
In 2011, we completed the first phase of the project, protecting 833 acres. Phase two will see the remaining 1,620 acres protected, keeping the property in productive use as a working cattle ranch and forever preserving the land's natural habitat.
