The Yuba Watershed Institute’s forest treatment project, the Little Deer Creek Landscape Resilience Project, plays a crucial role in safeguarding the local community from the growing threat of wildfires. By managing forest density and removing excess fuels, the project aims to reduce the likelihood of catastrophic fires in the densely populated Banner Mountain area. The work will also protect critical water infrastructure, recreational amenities, and wildlife habitats, ensuring a safer and more resilient future for
residents and visitors alike.
Sierra Streams Institute was involved in the planning process for this project, and will lead two public site walks to explore the area and discuss the resilience efforts in action.
Join us on Wednesday, October 30th at 1 pm or Saturday, November 9th at 10 am
These walks will last approximately 1.5 hours and will start at the Nevada County Sportsmen Club (11296 Banner Mountain Trail, Nevada City)
Bring water and sturdy shoes!
