Mountain Area Preservation

Mountain Area Preservation's (MAP) mission is to preserve the Truckee-Tahoe region's mountain character and the natural environment for present and future generations. 

MAP was founded thirty-five years ago by concerned citizens and has become the leading advocate for sound land use planning to protect our region's fragile landscapes from the impacts of poorly planned growth. MAP is a member-based environmental advocacy organization that serves the Truckee and North Lake Tahoe communities.

Since 1987, our work has protected more than 7,000 acres from the threats of poorly planned development in unique places such as Historic Downtown Truckee, Martis Valley, Donner Summit, Brockway Summit, and now Canyon Springs in Eastern Truckee. MAP's land use advocacy efforts have fostered the creation of community benefits such as trails, parks, and more than 700 workforce housing units through civic action and negotiations.

Make a tax-deductible donation to MAP this holiday season and help protect present and future generations through environmental advocacy! We are thirty-five years strong due to the support and passion of the community! For more information, call our office at 530.582.6751 or visit our website at www.MountainArePreservation.org
