Welcome!
Welcome to the Archer Taylor Preserve! Located on the west side of Napa Valley, the Archer Taylor Preserve consists of 380 acres managed by The Land Trust of Napa County. The Preserve is a permanently protected wildlife habitat and contains one of the largest redwood stands in Napa County. The property includes a year-round creek and over 240 recorded species of native plants, including several that are threatened or endangered. Although the property was logged along the creek in the 1890s, the land has been largely untouched by humans ever since.
The Land Trust manages the Preserve in conjunction with a group of dedicated volunteers for the protection and preservation of this beautiful property. The Preserve is open to the public by permission or through guided hikes scheduled by The Land Trust. For permission to hike on the Preserve, contact caretaker Erik Shearer at 707-254-0996 or by e-mailing him at atphiker@napalandtrust.org.
