The Tri-Valley Conservancy - Preserving and enhancing the Tri-Valley region for the benefit of current and future generations

​​​​

The Tri-Valley Conservancy (TVC)  is a nonprofit, nationally accredited land trust serving the Tri-Valley region. The TVC mission is to promote economically sustainable vineyards and orchards and increase permanently protected, biologically diverse open spaces in the region.

 

Jim Folta, who is the TVC Treasure, will discuss how the TVC pursues its mission through holding conservation easements on lands, leading youth educational programs in nature, and conducting advocacy and outreach initiatives aimed at preserving the Tri-Valley’s agricultural heritage and natural beauty.

 

Jim will also talk about the TVC vision of a Tri-Valley where farmland, rangeland, parkland, and wildlife habitats are protected and enhanced for the benefit of current and future generations.

​

Jim Folta retired from Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in 2021 after 32 years of service. He managed optics processing for the National Ignition Facility laser system.
