About Us

Our Mission

The Mission of the Lassen Land & Trails Trust is to conserve significant natural areas & agricultural landscapes, and to promote and enhance a public trail system throughout Lassen County.

Our Vision

To bring together public agencies, commercial businesses, agricultural operations, and recreational groups in our community to create and sustain a countywide commitment to:

  1. Maintaining continuity in the preservation and promotion of Susanville’s unique historic Susanville Railroad Depot and rail history as it transitions to operating as a separate, self sustaining program.
  2. Establishing and maintaining a network of trails throughout Lassen County linking population centers with public lands and scenic/historic resources, providing residents and visitors with access to the natural beauty of our area for recreation and personal renewal
  3. Developing a comprehensive conservation plan for Lassen County that identifies priority conservation areas and specifies the activities that should be conducted to achieve the plan’s goals.
  4. Expanding our base of engaged and generous members and donors contributing to our mission.
