Landowners donate big former development site near Auburn for state parks expansion
More than 400 undeveloped acres in Placer County will become state parks property.
The land, currently owned by the Placer Land Trust, will be donated to California State Parks, which operates the neighboring Auburn State Recreation Area. Along with the donation will come $95,000 to cover management of the 417 acres, said Placer Land Trust executive director Jeff Darlington.
