NEW PODCAST🎙The cost of removing 1 tonne of CO2 has economic challenges for carbon capture & storage. What if it was done with hydrogen fuel? Tune in with George Peridas of @Livermore_Lab, @JoshStolaroff of @motehydrogen and Jonathan Kusel of @SierraInst https://t.co/QkHmc2ZZa6
This mill will bring jobs to the community and will offer lower cost lumber for rebuilding, reducing the burden on residents who may not otherwise be able to afford building costs. We are partnering with local 4th generation logging company J&C Enterprises who will run the mill.
With tens of thousands of trees burned around our valley, what better way to use them than to rebuild the town of Greenville? We're excited to announce that thanks to @CAsWatershed funding, we have purchased a sawmill to be located at our Crescent Mills site.
Today on Short-term Recall, @KLBPFM’s limited-series on CA’s upcoming gubernatorial #recallelection :
I’ll be talking to Dr. Jonathan Kusel @SierraInst about wildfires in CA. I ask about Newsom’s track record and Republicans’ calls for logging deregulation.
We’re on in 30!
This Dixie Fire is making sure to find its way to any green forest we have left in the northern Sierra. Impacts of this fire on communities, forests, watersheds, forestry workforce, wood processing capacity, and beyond will largely re-define our work moving forward.

Check out this op-ed by our Executive Director in the Sacramento Bee in which he emphasizes that the Dixie Fire has statewide implications--its impacts to critical watersheds, the power grid, and air quality will be felt far and wide.

1/2 Thank you to everyone who has supported Project:Camp so far. Last week, we were able to provide a camp in Quincy for four days for 39 kids impacted by the #DixieFire.
we are committed to supporting healing and rebuilding efforts as our community navigates next steps. Stay tuned for relief opportunities to support our Plumas County communities in the path to recovery. (3/3)
It has been a challenging, saddening, and stressful month for us amidst the Dixie Fire. We've lost communities of Greenville, Indian Falls, and many more structures around our beautiful Indian Valley. Many of our staff members and community partners have lost their homes. (1/2)
Hundreds of thousands of acres of forests and watershed have burned, including man projects in the South Lassen Watershed Group boundary. We send our deepest condolences to everyone affected by this fire and others across the West, and (2/3)
Lorraine is from Taylorsville – a town impacted by the Dixie Fire. Her love for cooking & her community led her to open Hanson’s Homemade Pies, and when the fire hit, she began cooking for neighbors. Now, WCK is supporting her & Taylorsville by bringing lunch & dinner each day.
Located in the heart of Greenville, Evergreen Market thankfully survived the fire. The manager has been supporting her community by assembling boxes of dry goods for people remaining in the area. With hot meals, fruit, and water, WCK helped distribute the 📦 #ChefsForCalifornia
Every day, the WCK Relief Team takes hot, nourishing meals prepared by restaurants in Quincy to people impacted by the Dixie Fire. Deliveries are made twice a day, for lunch & dinner. In Taylorsville, the community meets at the Fire Station to pick up food. #ChefsForCalifornia
