Biomass can be part of the solution.

Instead of piling and burning woody material from restoration projects, new facilities in Tuolumne County are creating products, supporting jobs, and helping reduce wildfire risk. #WildfireResilience #Biomass

Wildfire impacts occur across entire landscapes. Our response should too.

The SNC Board recently approved the new Landscape Grant Program, designed to help fund large-scale, shovel-ready restoration and resilience projects across the Sierra-Cascade. #LandscapeScaleRestoration

An SNC grant will support #FuelReduction work to help improve wildfire resilience. The grant will reduce fuels on 192 acres in the southwest region of #MariposaCounty near the communities of Ahwahnee, Nipinnawasee, and Ponderosa Basin. Learn more: https://t.co/3uMheNjMy1

[Sierra Nevada Conservancy @CAsWatershed]

The SNC Board approved nearly $1.5 million for new #Wildfire resilience projects in Nevada and #Mariposa counties to help reduce wildfire risk and protect communities. Learn more: https://t.co/3uMheNjMy1 #WildfireResilience

On June 4, SNC Boardmembers and staff toured project sites across Trinity County to see firsthand how partnerships, early investments, and innovative approaches are advancing healthy forests, resilient watersheds, and community protection. #HealthyForests #WatershedResilience

[Sierra Nevada Conservancy @CAsWatershed]

Increasing the pace & scale of #ForestRestoration & community protection efforts is more important than ever. The SNC Board approved our Landscape Grant Program guidelines, which will fund landscape & forest collaboratives with shovel-ready projects. https://t.co/3uMheNjMy1

Read more about the Landscape-scale project restoring forests and protecting Mammoth Lakes here: https://t.co/jXjOM1ZEWb

[Sierra Nevada Conservancy @CAsWatershed]

Forest restoration work around Mammoth Lakes helped reduce hazardous fuels and improve wildfire resilience across nearly 56k acres of the Inyo National Forest. The project aimed to help protect the town, surrounding forests, and the recreation economy of the eastern Sierra.

[Sierra Nevada Conservancy @CAsWatershed]

Known locally as the “Mammoth Donut,” the project brought together local, state, federal, nonprofit, and community partners to increase the pace and scale of restoration work while building long-term capacity across the region.

Tiny species can create big problems.

Golden mussels were detected in #California & can damage water infrastructure, disrupt #ecosystems, & spread quickly between waterways.

Clean, drain, and dry boats and gear to help protect Sierra-Cascade waters.
