Placer supervisors approve draft deals to protect 525 acres near Auburn from housing

A 525-acre stretch of mostly blue oak woodland northwest of Auburn could be protected from development for good. The Placer County Board of Supervisors voted Tuesday to approve draft agreements for Harvego Bear River Preserve Phase 2, near the Auburn Valley Country Club community. Under current zoning, it could hold about 128 homes.

The $8 million purchase would draw on a state grant and two local funds
