Cascade Canal (aka Gracie Ditch) Trail Donations

The Banner Mountain Homeowners Association is joining with Save Our Historic Canals (SOHC) and the Nevada County Land Trust (NCLT) to acquire a permanent easement along a stretch of privately owned property on the Cascade Canal. The Cascade Trail is already one of the most popular trails in the County because it is cooled from summer’s heat by towering Douglas Fir, Ponderosa Pine and Incense Cedar. The property to be acquired provides a key link of approximately .4 of a mile and will connect public access on the BLM property off of Gracie Road with the Land Trust’s Woodpecker Preserve which allows access to other trails and easements. By this purchase, the trail will be preserved in perpetuity even if the Canal is abandoned by NID in the future. If you want to help our efforts, please give your tax-deductible donations to the Nevada County Land Trust-Cascade Trail at either BMHA, PO Box 833, Nevada City, CA 95959 or the Land Trust offices at 175 Joerschke Dr., Grass Valley, CA 95945.

Donations of $40 or more also include an annual membership in the Banner Mountain Homeowners Association. Donations of $100 or more will include an annual membership in the Nevada County Land Trust.
