Ecologically Responsible Recreation and Natural Resource Protection
Acquire Lands to Protect/Conserve Natural Resources
The State of NV through the NV Land Bank acquired 7.67 acres of sensitive land in the Granite Springs Subdivision in Lower Kingsbury, Douglas County in 2017. Edgewood Creek flows through the lower portion of the parcel. The land was verified by TRPA as land capability districts 1b, 1a, 2, 4, and 6 and contains 22,483 square feet of existing/potential land coverage. Existing land coverage/disturbance is being restored using several available funding sources. Land coverage/disturbance restored with TRPA Excess Mitigation Funds will be permanently retired. The NV Land Bank is permanently retiring the parcel from future development and managing the parcel for environmental benefits.
