Conservation Easement
Established 2007
158 Acres

Holger and Tacy Hahn donated a conservation easement on 128 acres along Deer Creek.  The property is situated within the lower elevations of the mixed conifer belt and the upper elevations of the blue oak belt. Consequently, it includes vegetation and habitat types characteristic of both.

In addition, the property includes 3,500 linear feet of riparian habitat along Deer Creek, a perennial stream that originates above Nevada City, flows into Lake Wildwood and eventually to the Yuba River. The property is adjacent to large agricultural (primarily rangeland) parcels on the east and to smaller rural-residential parcels on the remaining three sides.
