Scott Burkhart has been growing grapes in Livermore for over 30 years. Now, with support from Tri-Valley Conservancy’s Sponsored Replanting Program, he is replanting eight acres and investing in the future of his family vineyard. His story is the first of many we hope to support.

Our Fall 2025 issue of News & Views is packed with stories of how we’re helping shape the Tri-Valley for generations to come.

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.
