Significance of the Foothills
Oak Woodlands
The waterways, oak woodlands, and ranches in the Nevada, Placer and Yuba County foothills provide critical wildlife habitat and migration connectivity, scenic open space, and convey vital water from Sierra Nevada snowmelt to the people and agricultural lands of California. The foothills also sustain local economies through rangelands and unique recreational opportunities.
We have changed our name from Bear-Yuba Partnership to Northern Foothills Partnership.
Mission
The Northern Foothills Partnership is a regional collaboration land conservation organizations protecting the waterways, historic ranches and oak woodlands of the Sierra foothills in the Bear and Yuba River watersheds.

Northern Foothills Partnership Commitment
Three land conservation organizations: The Trust for Public Land, Bear Yuba Land Trust and Placer Land Trust have formed the Northern Foothills Partnership to increase investment in strategic landscape-scale conservation of the Bear and Yuba River watersheds for the economic and ecological health of our local rural communities, for the benefit of all Californians, for future generations.
The Northern Foothills Partnership (formerly Bear-Yuba Partnership) is a collaborative conservation effort of the Trust for Public Land, Bear Yuba Land Trust (formerly Nevada County Land Trust) and Placer Land Trust. The partnership works to facilitate investment in large landscape-level conservation of the Sierra foothills in the Bear, Yuba and American River watersheds.
