What is Placer Legacy?

Placer Legacy is a countywide, science-based open space and habitat protection program. Placer Legacy will result in a comprehensive open space plan for Placer County that preserves the diversity of plant and animal communities in the County and addresses a variety of other open space needs, from agriculture and recreation to urban edges and public safety. Placer Legacy will help maintain the County's high quality of life and promote economic vitality.

How does Placer Legacy work?

It is totally voluntary - only willing buyers and willing sellers participate.

It is based on the existing County General Plan and community plans, so it doesn't require land-use or zoning changes.

It is non-regulatory - no new regulations are adopted to meet the objectives of the program.
