From securing a conservation easement that protects over 1,300 acres in Doolan Canyon (the largest in TVC history), to championing outdoor education in our beautiful region, our Fall 2025 issue of News & Views is packed with stories of how we’re helping shape the Tri-Valley for generations to come.

We are proud to announce the largest conservation easement in our organization’s history! We are now permanently protecting an additional 1,168 acres in Doolan Canyon.

This year’s competition drew an impressive range of submissions from both adult and youth photographers, capturing everything from our valley’s rolling hills and vineyards to its diverse wildlife and iconic regional vistas. 

For the past 16 years, TVC has been an accredited land trust, meaning that we meet the highest national standards for excellence and conservation permanence. As part of the reaccreditation process, the Land Trust Accreditation Commission has opened a comment period, and we’d love for you to take part.

On June 12, 2025, the Alameda County Board of Supervisors unanimously approved amendments to the East County Area Plan (ECAP) and the South Livermore Valley Area Plan (SLVAP) that will protect Livermore Valley’s agricultural lands and enhance its identity as a premier wine-growing and agritourism destination.

In 2024, Tri-Valley Conservancy celebrated its 30th anniversary with some amazing accomplishments.

Tri-Valley Conservancy participated in the 2025 City Nature Challenge, where cities around the world collaborated to share observations of nature.

Out of nearly 100 submissions, and with almost 300 people voting for the Barry Zupan People’s Choice Award, we’re proud to present this year’s winners!

We are pleased to announce that long-time Bay Area policy advocate and environmental nonprofit leader Rebecca Spector has joined TVC as its executive director. She is the former interim executive director and West Coast director at Center for Food Safety.
