About
The Land Trust of Santa Clara Valley (LTSCV) is a private nonprofit public benefit corporation under the provisions of Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. LTSCV has been accredited by the Land Trust Alliance (LTA) through November 15, 2026.
Why?
Once celebrated as the "Valley of Heart's Delight" for its perfect climate and fertile soils, Santa Clara Valley has lost over 21,000 acres of farmland and rangeland to development in the past 30 years, with nearly 28,000 additional acres at risk. This loss threatens our local food security and agricultural economy while diminishing open spaces that provide crucial habitats for native species and help mitigate the impacts of climate change, such as extreme heat and flooding.
