Feather River Land Trust (FRLT) invites you to visit the Olsen Barn Meadow. The property is 107 acres of meadow, creekside forest, and wetland adjacent to the North Fork of the Feather River and part of the Lake Almanor Important Bird Area. With stunning vistas of Lassen Peak and exceptional wildlife habitat near the town of Chester, the property is best known for its 130+ year-old historic barn. The Olsen Barn property is both environmentally and culturally significant and has long been treasured by the surrounding community.
All ages are welcome and friendly dogs are invited too (on leash please). Be prepared for walking on uneven ground and exposure to sun and wind.

Please Park in the designated parking area off Highway 36 (also Main Street). Walk across the meadow to the Barn, as the meadow is closed to motorized traffic. Please respect the neighbors’ private property.
