Mission

The mission of the Land Trust of Santa Cruz County is to protect, care for, and connect people to the extraordinary lands that make this area special.

Vision

We see a future where the wild and working forests, the beaches and coastline, the globally unique biotic habitats, and the County’s rich farming and ranching heritage – those things that define the extraordinary place we call Santa Cruz County—are preserved forever, are lovingly cared for by supportive communities and are cherished by all as an extraordinary gift that this generation has made to future generations.
