Join us in celebrating National Wildflower Week in the Sierra Nevada! 🌼 Wildflowers support our pollinators, contribute to a robust ecosystem, and add color to our beautiful landscapes. Take a moment this week to appreciate the wildflowers around you and help protect them!

Truly impactful work 👇

[Governor Newsom Press Office @GovPressOffice]

California for All means real access to our state’s most extraordinary parks and natural spaces.

The state is building parks where there are none, cutting red tape, and growing a workforce that looks like California!

[LisaLien-Mager @LisaLienMager]

So proud to see this work making a difference in CA!

So cool to see this land return to the Southern Sierra Miwuk people.

[SFGATE @SFGate]

Nearly two centuries after the Southern Sierra Miwuk people were displaced from present-day Mariposa County, 900 acres of land west of Yosemite National Park have been returned to the tribe.

Doing the work to make our lands more resilient!

[California Tahoe Conservancy @CaliforniaTahoe]

The Tahoe Conservancy is conducting prescribed burns today on 6 acres of Conservancy land in the Tahoe Hills neighborhood on the west shore, in collaboration with @CALFIREAEU. Visit https://t.co/539cvzOyWO to learn how prescribed fire helps improve forest & wildfire resilience.

Another study showing the benefits of putting good fire on the ground. ⬇️

[CAL FIRE @CAL_FIRE]

A two-decade experiment in the Sierra Nevada showed that regular prescribed burns help forests store more carbon in large, fire-resistant trees while reducing wildfire hazard.

Key takeaways from the @UCBerkeley study:
➡️ Prescribed burns maintain large, fire-resistant trees and remove smaller “fuel ladder” vegetation that can drive high-intensity crown fires.
➡️ While each burn releases CO₂ in the short term, treated plots showed higher long-term productivity and carbon sequestration than unmanaged stands.

The findings suggest that low-intensity, repeated burning can help maintain forests that are healthier, more resilient, and better able to store carbon.

Doing the work to help protect homes and communities.

[California Board of Forestry & Fire Protection @CAForestry]

We continue to hit the sidewalks and boardrooms, talking with Californians in their neighborhoods and communities as we finalize Zone 0 regulations to protect people and places.

There is still plenty of time to engage & track the latest news.

“Expanding offshore oil drilling is a really bad idea,” said @WadeCrowfoot, California’s Natural Resources Secretary.  https://t.co/B0NhyrPQoj

[LisaLien-Mager @LisaLienMager]

Protecting our coast is part of our identity as Californians.

[California Natural Resources Agency @CalNatResources]

President Trump just released a disastrous proposal to open up our coasts to offshore drilling.

As @CAgovernor Newsom said, over our dead body.

[California Tahoe Conservancy @CaliforniaTahoe]

We were grateful to host Calif. Natural Resources Sec. Wade Crowfoot along with state, regional, and local partners yesterday for a tour of Conservancy projects. The first stop was a forestry project on forested state and federal public lands in S. Lake Tahoe. @CalNatResources

[LisaLien-Mager @LisaLienMager]

So glad to see this happening. Another example of what's possible when people come together

[California Natural Resources Agency @CalNatResources]

State and county leaders, conservation groups and the Round Valley Indian Tribes gathered in Sacramento today to sign a groundbreaking MOU to restore the Eel River while ensuring water reliability for 600,000+ coastal Californians. 🌊🐟With PG&E set to remove outdated dams, nearly 300 miles of critical salmon habitat will reopen for the first time in over a century! This agreement balances water needs, tribal sovereignty, and ecosystem health—proving collaboration can solve even century-old conflicts. Watch Secretary @WadeCrowfoot speak about the significance of this MOU below, and read the press release at https://t.co/dy3hYgfluL.

A shockingly ignorant quote-tweet from the owner of the LA Times.

His own outlet confirmed none of this water went to LA, where water supplies are near RECORD HIGHS.

The feds rerouted unneeded summer water to Tulare — immediately triggering winter flooding fears for farmers.

[LisaLien-Mager @LisaLienMager]

Got an aerial look at both Eaton and Palisades fires with @CAL_FIRE colleagues on Saturday. It’s hard to wrap your mind around the scale of loss and the recovery time ahead. So grateful for first responders (at least 8,000) and teams on the ground now as we move into recovery.

[LisaLien-Mager @LisaLienMager]

Spent time with CalFire’s Damage Inspection Teams assessing homes impacted by Palisades and Eaton fires. This critical work helps property owners understand the status of their homes, and helps inform future wildfire mitigations.

[LisaLien-Mager @LisaLienMager]

Such important work to protect communities during the long recovery phase

[California Department of Conservation @CalConservation]

California remains committed to recovery in #LosAngeles after the devastating fires.

Today, Secretary @WadeCrowfoot, CalConservation Director @JenLucchesi, State Geologist & the WERT team visited burn sites to address post-fire hazards to keep communities safe.

@CAGeoSurvey

[CA Wildfire and Forest Resilience Task Force @CAwildfireTF]

Our thoughts and support are with the brave first responders and Angelenos facing the devastating fires raging in Southern CA.

The current fires emphasize our need to continue bringing the state together to put solutions to our 🔥crisis in motion.

[CAL FIRE @CAL_FIRE]

The smoke you smell could be from a prescribed burn, a key tool for reducing future wildfire severity. Toggle the "prescribed fire" layer on the CAL FIRE map to see planned burns in your area. These controlled burns help preserve habitat & lower fire fuel.

[LisaLien-Mager @LisaLienMager]

So amazing to see this progress. Grateful to all who worked so hard over decades to make this happen.

[Governor Gavin Newsom @CAgovernor]

The Klamath River restoration project has completed final in-river work to remove its dams!

By taking down these outdated dams, we're giving salmon & other species a chance to thrive while also restoring an essential lifeline for tribal communities.
