Saving Open Space around Glenshire

Saving Open Space around Glenshire (SOS Glenshire) is a grass roots, local, non-profit organization made up of neighbors just like you dedicated to preserving valuable open space and promoting responsible land use in eastern Truckee, near the Glenshire area.

One of our major efforts is identifying parcels adjacent to the Canyon Springs protected open space that are at risk of development, and instead ensure its protection. We envision a corridor of protected lands from Glenshire all the way to the Mt. Rose Wilderness, including restoring access to the Truckee River east of Hershdale.

Our Mission

Our mission is to support the sustaining of wild lands, wildlife, and quality of life around the Glenshire region (eastern Truckee and Nevada County) for the benefit of current and future generations. Our goals are:

• To protect undeveloped land that is vital in maintaining wild lands, wildlife, and quality of life for our community.
• To maintain wildlife corridors, habitat connectivity, and viable wildlife populations around our community.
• To create a basis for our government and town leaders to make choices that reflect the priorities of our community members.
• To raise awareness of the significant benefits of preserving natural open spaces for community use.
