 Now, the first black land trust in California, the 40 Acre Conservation League, is trying to right these wrongs. With $3 million in funding from the State Wildlife Conservation Board and Sierra Nevada Conservancy, the nonprofit recently purchased its first piece of land, 650 acres bordering the Tahoe National Forest in Northern California. Jade Stevens is the president of the 40 Acre Conservation League, and she joined Living on Earth host Steve Kerwood.
