Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) is on its way to becoming one of the largest conservation landowners in California through implementation of its Land Conservation Commitment (LCC). Working with local land trusts, PG&E is utilizing conservation easements to permanently protect the natural resources, habitat, recreation, and cultural resources of its Hydro watershed lands. Once the LCC is implemented, over 140,000 acres of land in the Sierra and Cascades will be protected.
