This is Placer
This video shows the wonders of Placer County, California. Breath-taking scenery, a rich history, year-round recreation – and Lake Tahoe – need we say more? Those are just a few of the reasons more than 380,000 people call Placer County home and hundreds of thousands more come to visit us each year. Our territory stretches from the Sacramento Valley all the way to North Lake Tahoe. We are consistently ranked the 5th healthiest county in California (but we’re bound and determined to get to 1st!), and we already rank 1st in quality of life. We boast the best schools, the best outdoor recreation, and the most beautiful views you’ll find anywhere, but we also are home to amazing art, award-winning wines and agriculture. In fact, we love to say that “we were Farm to Fork, when Farm to Fork wasn’t cool.” We also have a tremendously strong heritage as the home of California’s Gold Country. We love it so much here - it’s a way of life we call the #PlacerLife.

Placer Bear Aware
The video, produced by county staff using employees and their families as actors, encourages people who reside or are visiting areas where there are bears to put away foods that attracts bears, secure garbage in a bear-proof container, not to leave food for pets outside and to remove food from vehicles. Securing garbage in a bear bin and installing an electric “hot” wire across windows to prevent break-ins are additional actions people can do to keep bears away.
