December 2024 Update

This year was Clover Valley Foundation’s (CVF) 25th Anniversary, and it was a busy one! Board members and many volunteers—both long-time and new—joined in efforts to preserve Clover Valley’s wonderful natural resources from destruction via unnecessary development.

We are keeping a close watch on the Skyview/Westridge proposed project which would be built on the west ridge next to Boulder Ridge park. We have asked the City of Rocklin to conduct an environmental review of the project’s changes from its originally-approved plans. To comply with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as well as other regulations, an analysis is required if/when such changes may create new, significant impacts—and we believe they will.

CVF remains committed to saving the integrity of Clover Valley in its entirety—all 622 acres. To that end, we welcome any ideas from our supporters. Please provide your email address in order to facilitate rapid communication and send to: email@clovervalleyfoundation.org

Best Wishes to all in 2025 and Happy Holidays!

Clover Valley has wonderful grassy hills, oaks, and rock formations among its many natural resources.
