Our mission at Sequoia Riverlands Trust is to conserve the natural and agricultural legacy of the southern Sierra Nevada and San Joaquin Valley. We care about the livelihood of the whole region as well as how our region contributes to the vitality of the state and nation as a whole.
To learn more about conservation and the things that we care about, please check out the following resource pages:
Southern Sierra Integrated Regional Water Resources Management Plan (IRWMP): SRT contributes to the Southern Sierra IRWMP, which is a voluntary, non-regulatory planning document that identifies broadly-supported goals and objectives pertaining to water resources management, addressing issues such as: water supply, water quality, habitat and environment, recreation and land use. All planning documents can be accessed here.
Conservation Resources: We encourage you to learn more about land conservation. Click here to read up on all the benefits—big and small—of land conservation as well as water conservation, water quality and sources of inspirational words pertaining to the land and water that sustains us.

Climate Change Resources: Not everyone believes the data that support global warming. And that’s OK. But we at SRT would like to honor the evidence and do what we can to minimize the effects of warming trends and the repercussions that those trends have on the land and those who inhabit it. Please check out what we’re doing and learn more about the climate change argument.
Local Food Resources: Fresno, Tulare, Kings and Kern counties are some of the most productive agricultural areas in the world. Currently, Fresno County is number one, followed by Tulare. Not only do our local farmers produce food for the rest of the world, but they feed our communities directly by selling freshly-picked produce at Farmers Markets all over the southern San Joaquin Valley. Discover your local market, meet the farmers that are dedicated to nourishing us and learn more about the agricultural economy that is the backbone of this great “Edible” Valley.
