Wild &\; Scenic shares an urgent call to action\, encouraging festival-goers to learn mo re about what they can do to save our threatened planet. \n\n\n\nFor ove r two decades\, the Wild &\; Scenic Film Festival (WSFF) has welcomed audiences to Nevada County\, CA\, for its annual event every January. T his year the festival has moved to President’s Day weekend\, February 16-20.\n\n\n\nThe festival will feature many mainstay elements of the pa st\, including activist workshops\, an art exhibition\, youth programs\, the EnviroFair\, filmmaker Q&\;A sessions\, as well as opportunities to interact with filmmakers and special guests. Wild &\; Scenic’s festival will continue to bring together top filmmakers\, activists\, an d social innovators to inspire environmental awareness and action.\n\n\n \nThis year’s festival theme is “CommUNITY” in recognition that 20 23 marks the 40th anniversary of the South Yuba River Citizens League (S YRCL). Founded on the premise that “people can save a river”\,\,” SYRCL has been uplifting the community by uniting and engaging with loca l citizens to protect and restore the Yuba River Watershed for decades. For next year\, the Wild &\; Scenic’ s theme focuses on the importa nce of approaching challenges as a unified community\, and reflects the significance of grassroots movements in protecting nature for future gen erations. The official 2023 artwork was created by artist Shar Tuiasoa\, aka Punky Aloha\, with this idea in mind\, and audiences can expect to see it reflected throughout this year’s programming.\n\n\n\nSave the D ate for our 21st edition – taking place in person February 16-20\, 202 3.\n\n\n\nFor more information\, to sign up to volunteer\, and/or to pur chase tickets\, please visit the Wild &\; Scenic Film Festival Websit e URL;VALUE=URI:https://yubariver.org/events/wild-scenic-film-festival-202 3/ UID:urn:uuid:8b3cc3af-fdd9-4766-b106-44cd627d6389 STATUS:CONFIRMED ORGANIZER: DTSTAMP:20260605T163027Z DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20230216 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20230220 LOCATION:Locations throughout Nevada City and Grass Valley END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Wild For The Yuba 2016 DESCRIPTION:Get Ready!\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWild for the Yuba features beer &a mp\; wine tasting\, live music\, and silent and live auctions.

Sponsored by the Rose Foundation and co -hosted with \;Nevada County Cannabis Alliance\, this all-day worksh op is for anyone interested in learning more about best management pract ices in cannabis cultivation that protect the environment.\n\n\n\nCalifo rnia’s current “Green Rush\,” has attracted many people to grow me dical marijuana\, or cannabis\, in the Yuba River watershed. With recent statewide legalization\, most of the attention surrounding cannabis cul tivation has focused on medical\, economic\, social impacts and regulati on. SYRCL remains committed to sharing educational information that prot ects the river from potential negative impacts. SYRCL calls upon our com munity to make sure that the environmental impacts on the Yuba River are not overlooked.\n\n\n\nThe environmental impacts of unregulated\, large -scale cannabis cultivation are real. The overuse of chemical fertilizer s\, pesticides and herbicides pollutes the water and poisons wildlife. I llegal water diversions result in dry creeks. Deforested and poorly grad ed land damages habitat for native fish and wildlife. So-called “tresp ass grows” on public lands wreak havoc on the landscape.\n\n\n\nIt’s time for Nevada County to roll up its sleeves and develop proactive\, l ocal solutions to protect the environment. Nevada County has long been a center for organic\, sustainable agriculture. The State of California i s working to develop a comprehensive framework to regulate cannabis cult ivation and protect our water that could serve as a model for the County .\n\n\n\nThis daylong informational workshop with local and regional exp erts will highlight best management practices for cannabis cultivation t hat will safeguard the Yuba watershed. The workshop presenters will addr ess a variety of topics including regulation\, water management systems\ , soil health\, nutrient use\, and pest management. There will \;als o be a panel discussion focused on legal issues. Additionally\, we plan to host monthly \;public “best management practice” workshops th rough the Summer.\n\n\n\nSYRCL’s vision is that people will see that w ell-regulated agriculture – which is what cannabis cultivation could b e – should not harm water quality\, fish and wildlife. We’re address ing the sustainable cultivation issue through collaborative leadership\, science\, stewardship and education. As a community we can educate each other to ensure cannabis is grown in an environmentally responsible and sustainable way.\n\n\n\nHistory teaches us that every new economic “r ush” from hydraulic mining to clear-cutting has had profound impacts o n the Yuba River over the past century and a half. Let’s be forward-th inking about sustainable solutions to regulate cannabis cultivation that will protect the watershed and comply with land use and environmental l aws. Join us on April 30th and learn how to protect the Yuba while manag ing your grow.

Students will conduct biological surveys to assess meadow species richness and diversity\, hy drologic regime\, and meadow restoration success.\n\n\n\nSierra Nevada m ountain meadows have been disturbed by historic land use activities such as forestry practices\, mining\, over-grazing\, climate change and fire suppression. Because of their unique features\, mountain meadows are ar eas of high species diversity\, serving as a haven for many plants and a nimals. These meadows serve as carbon sinks\, making them an important r esource for carbon sequestration. Meadows collect precipitation and stor e it underground\; filtering water and slowly releasing it to lower elev ations - in our case\, the greater Yuba watershed and Sacramento River b asin.\n\n\n\nThroughout the program\, participants will work alongside e xperts who will serve as mentors to help develop real-world scientific s kills. Working with such individuals allows students to cultivate an inv aluable network of skills\, experience and contacts in the scientific co mmunity. Building a strong network will be a tremendous help in future a spirations\, such as applying to colleges and employment opportunities.\ n\n\n\nMany thanks to National Forest Foundation for making this opportu nity possible.\n\n\n\nProgram Details:\n\n\n\nWeek-long opportunity to l earn about meadow ecosystems\, scientific monitoring\, and ecosystem res toration.Lunch and snacks will be provided.Most of the time will be spen t outdoors at Loney Meadow in the Tahoe National Forest.

The numbers are still rolling in from 33 sites. So far at least 900 volunteers removed more than 20\,000 poun ds of garbage and recyclables from 84 miles of rivers\, creeks and lakes . Volunteers also assisted Nevada County by posting “No Swimming” ad visory signs as a response to a yellow-colored plume of water that appea red along the South Yuba River the previous day.\n\n\n\n“SYRCL’s Cle anup happened to take place during a critical NO SWIM ADVISORY that was issued by Nevada County’s Environmental Health Department\,” said Me linda Booth. “Thankfully we were able to use our dedicated volunteer c orps to help the County post signs for the public and get the word out. \n\n\n\nOn Friday afternoon\, September 20\, SYRCL received photos fro m one of its members that showed yellowish\, discolored water in the Sou th Yuba River. SYRCL advised the public\, Nevada County\, State Parks an d the California Office of Emergency Services. All relevant agencies beg an coordinating a response. To support this collaborative effort\, SYRCL and partners conducted water quality testing throughout the South Fork of the Yuba. These data are still being analyzed.\n\n\n\nCurrently Nevad a County Environmental Health Department’s “NO SWIM” advisory rema ins in effect\, from the town of Washington to Englebright reservoir.\n\ n\n\nTo ensure volunteer safety during the Cleanup\, SYRCL asked volunte ers to not swim and to stay at least 50 feet away from the edge of the r iver during their hours of cleaning and trash hauling.\n\n\n\n“The yel low plume of discolored water was heartbreaking to see on Friday afterno on\,” said Booth. “We knew we had to act right away by posting a vid eo advisory and contacting our partners. Local and state government are taking this incident very seriously and are leading the investigation. \n\n\n\nWater sample tests revealed dangerous levels of E. coli bacteri a at Highway 49 Crossing on Saturday\, September 21. By Sunday\, tests s howed dramatically reduced levels. \; The cause of the plume is stil l under investigation.\n\n\n\nThe yellow sediment plume did not keep the community from pitching in to remove a summer’s worth of trash during the Yuba River Cleanup on Saturday. Dozens of families\, school groups and businesses got their hands dirty for the betterment of trails\, beac hes and public areas surrounding our local waterways\, including Gold Ru n Creek\, Deer Creek\, Wolf Creek\, the Bear River\, Englebright Lake\, and Kentucky Ravine. Volunteers ranged from nine-months old to 80 years old and they removed an array of items out of the river including scoote rs\, roofing shingles\, a pink flamingo in camouflage\, tires\, couches\ , fence parts and more.

You\, our volunteers are the m ost important part of this effort.\n\n\n\nRiver Cleanup volunteers make a huge difference in the health of our watershed\, over the past 20 yea rs\, we’ve removed more than 120 tons of garbage and recycling. Thank s to our entire community of river volunteers who helped make the 2019 Y uba River Cleanup a success. We removed more than 15 tons of trash and r ecycling from the Yuba and Bear watersheds with the help of 900 dedicate d volunteers...and our work is far from over. \n\n\n\nThis summer due t o shutdowns\, crowds are flooding the Yuba River watershed to get some r elief from the stress and heat of 2020. Beaches and trails are littered with shopping bags\, straws\, cigarette butts\, bottles\, glass\, picnic trash and more. \;We are passionate about protecting the beautiful Yuba River and our river community. That's why this year we will be host ing a different kind of river cleanup. \;\n\n\n\nKeeping volunteers and the community safe from the spread of COVID-19 is our number one con cern. Therefore\, rather than one day of fun\, this year’s cleanup wil l be spread across 12-days from September 16-27th. 2020. We will be adhe ring to social distancing guidelines with this cleanup model\, protectin g ourselves while we protect the Yuba River. \;\n\n\n\nBeginning Aug ust 3rd\, volunteers can register online for the cleanup\, choose your c leanup site and choose a time to pick up trash between September 16-27th . Volunteers will be spread across 16+ sites over 12-days to minimize co ntact with visitors and volunteers. \; Only 5-10 volunteers allowed per cleanup site each shift. \; \;We need your help this year to bring garbage bags\, masks and gloves to your cleanup spot.

Each Sept ember since 1997\, as part of a larger cleanup effort called California Coastal Cleanup Day\, SYRCL has organized an annual Yuba River Cleanup e vent uniting the community to remove the trash that sadly builds up thro ughout the Yuba River watershed each year.\n\n\n\nIn the last few years\ , the Yuba River has been enjoyed by over 800\,000 people each summer. F rom locals to out of town visitors\, everyone has an impact on the river . Most who visit recreate with intention\, valuing the fragility of the ecosystem\, packing out what they have packed in\, cleaning up after the ir dogs\, and being fire safety conscious. Unfortunately\, either throug h carelessness or ignorance\, not everyone is so respectful.\n\n\n\nBy t he end of “river season\,” the Yuba needs a little help from the com munity that loves it.\n\n\n\nHere's where YOU come in.\n\n\n\nSYRCL invi tes you to participate in this year’s event on September 10-17\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nRiver Cleanup volunteers make a huge difference. Since its incep tion\, the Yuba River Cleanup has removed more than 180 tons of garbage and recycling from the river. For 25 years this has been a robust event\ , where much of the community turned out to clean up the Yuba and then g athered for a big celebration.\n\n\n\nBy the end of "river season\," the Yuba needs a little help from the community that loves it. This annual cleanup demonstrates uniting the community for the Yuba more than any ot her SYRCL program and I’m continually in awe at the outpouring of supp ort for this event.Melinda Booth -- SYRCL's Executive Director\n\n\n\nFo r its 25th anniversary of the River Cleanup\, SYRCL is hoping to unite t he community again to help bring the Yuba back its shine.

Join SYRCL’s River Sc ience staff\, trained naturalists\, and river guides from H2O Adventures for a float trip down the lower Yuba to see spawning salmon. The day on a raft includes opportunities to learn about the Yuba River ecosystem\, how mining has impacted the river and the indigenous people of the area \, and how SYRCL is working to protect salmon on the Yuba.

Expedition participants will le arn about the salmon life cycle and the impact humans have had on these incredible fish.” \;\n\n\n\nSYRCL’s Salmon Expeditions begin on the main stem of the Yuba River at Parks Bar\, just below the Highway 20 Bridge\, and end at Sycamore Ranch Park. The run is about five miles lo ng and the trip takes approximately six hours with stops along the way.& nbsp\;\n\n\n\nThe public Salmon Expeditions are in many ways based off t he school program for fourth through twelfth graders that SYRCL offers t o Yuba and Nevada county students from Oct. 3 to Nov. 18. This program i ntroduces students to the life cycle of the wild Chinook salmon as well as man’s historical impact on the environment of the watershed. The Yu ba County 4th grade trips are sponsored by the Yuba Water Agency\, who t his year generously funded the purchase of additional water shoes\, flee ce\, and rain jackets for participating students. \;\n\n\n\nPublic S almon Expeditions are a great way to understand why it is important to r estore\, protect\, and preserve the Yuba River now and in the future.

All are welcome to attend e ither or both days!  \;\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOn July 28th\ , anyone interested in botany or native plants is welcome to attend a wo rkshop completely focused on the identification of native sedges. For th is workshop\, some previous plant ID experience is recommended. For the next day of the workshop\, on July 29th\, all are welcome to help collec t native seeds from the meadow. These seeds will be used to support the revegetation component of the Van Norden meadow restoration project. Thi s is a fun opportunity to learn about our beloved native plants and to r estore our meadows.  \;\n\n\n\nVan Norden meadow (Yayalu Itdeh in Wa shoe)\, an important Sierra meadow at the headwaters of the South Yuba R iver\, was purchased in 2012 and saved from development by the Truckee D onner Land Trust\, multiple local conservation groups\, and thousands of local community members who supported the campaign. SYRCL\, in partners hip with the Tahoe National Forest (TNF)\, the Truckee Donner Land Trust (TDLT)\, and others have begun restoration on 485 acres of this \;m eadow habitat. This restoration will involve conducting key scientific s tudies to address specific uncertainties about how meadow restoration ac tions impact meadow hydrology\, ecology\, biology\, and the vulnerabilit y of meadows to climate change.

In addition\, invasive specie s removal will occur\, and encroaching conifers will be removed along th e meadow edges. Finally\, we will plant willow and sedge \;in areas where native plant recruitment is desired.  \;\n\n\n\nThis final sta ge is where you come in. We need your help to collect the sedge and othe r native plant seeds that will support native plant recruitment. \;\ n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDay 1’s workshop on July 28th will be f ocused on native sedge identification. The workshop will be led by Dave Weixelman\, a range ecologist with US Forest Service for over 33 years w ith a focus on vegetation ecology that has supported his 15+ publication s. Attendees will learn how to identify different species of native sedg es present in the meadow. Some botany or plant identification knowledge is recommended\, but not required. Bring forceps\, a small ruler (mm)\, a hand lens\, and a Jepson Manual\, 2nd Ed\, if you have them. Extra for ceps\, hand rulers\, and forceps will be provided\, and a Jepson Manual can be split between two people. The event will run from 9 am to 4 pm. L unch is NOT provided\, so please pack something hearty and bring plenty of water. \;\n\n\n\nOn Day 2 of the workshop on July 29th\, SYRCL an d Forest Service meadow experts will guide attendees in collecting nativ e plant seeds which will be used to support native plant recruitment. Th is collection from the meadow is open to everyone and will benefit the r evegetation component of the meadow restoration project. All you need to bring is yourself! \;\n\n\n\nTo sign up for either or both days\, p lease email Caitlin Edelmuth\, SYRCL’s Restoration Coordinator\, at ca itlin@yubariver.org. \; URL;VALUE=URI:https://yubariver.org/events/sedge-and-native-seed-collect ion-workshop-july-28-29-2022/ UID:urn:uuid:cfda0c3e-774a-4f95-989c-6cd33aeedafd STATUS:CONFIRMED ORGANIZER: DTSTAMP:20260605T163027Z DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20220728 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20220729 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Scotch Broom Challenge 2022 DESCRIPTION:In the spring and summer\, California roads are lined by bri lliant yellow flowers. \;These pretty plants are the deceptively agg ressive invasive Scotch broom (cytisus scoparius)\, which is not only hi ghly flammable (thus posing a fire hazard) but is also inedible for most animals and thrives in a broad range of conditions.\n\n\n\nThis invasiv e species' seeds can survive in soil for over 80 years. The long-term se ed survival is doubly impressive considering that just one shrub produce s thousands of seeds\, which are transported over large areas by animals \, humans\, and automobiles among other means.\n\n\n\nScotch broom can r each over 10 feet in height and grows in large patches. Its roots and de nse shrubbery chokes out native plants and reduces the habitat and food sources our native fauna require.\n\n\n\nSo what can you do to challenge the Scotch broom? \;\n\n\n\nThe South Yuba River Citizens League (S YRCL) has partnered with multiple organizations over the years to clear Scotch broom via an annual Scotch Broom Challenge. Volunteers band toget her to fight its spread and we've made a lot of progress in the watershe d!\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis year\, SYRCL is teaming up with the Bear Yuba Lan d Trust to remove Scotch broom at Mountain Bounty Farm \;on March 30 \, 2022 from 9 AM to 2 PM. \;There are 15 acres of Scotch broom adja cent to the farm that are considered a high fire risk because a large po rtion of the scotch broom is dry and dying. \;\n\n\n\nWe are looking for 15 volunteers to help take out this plant and protect our watershed .

Our newest project is planned for a s tretch of the lower Yuba called Rose Bar. We are inviting the public to join us for a tour of the project area on Friday\, December 3rd. \;\ n\n\n\nYou can learn more about the project below and sign up for the to ur here. \;\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nProject goals:\n\n\n\nThe main go als of the project are to increase available spawning habitat for spring and fall run Chinook salmon. \;This project builds on existing rest oration projects by \;working upstream \;of sites like \;Upp er Long Bar and Lower \;Long Bar\, which both focus on creating rear ing habitat. \;The \;juvenile salmon that emerge \;from the& nbsp\;redds \;at Rose Bar \;will be able to \;swim downstrea m to the rearing habitats that will \;ideally \;be restored by t he time the project is complete. \;\n\n\n\n Creating spawning habita t is especially important in this location for another reason as well. W e are encouraging salmon to lay their eggs here\, before they encounter Englebright Dam\, because the dam is impassable. Salmon that reach the d am are unlikely to swim back downstream to spawn\, so making this an att ractive spawning ground to stop at before reaching the dam is imperative .\n\n\n\nHow will the project change the landscape?\n\n\n\nThere are thr ee parts to the restoration. The first two changes will not be dramatic to the human eye\, but spawning salmon should see a difference. Chinook salmon like to lay their eggs just upstream of riffles because doing so helps ensure the water flowing into the redd is oxygenated. This locatio n has an existing riffle\, but the rocks are too big for female salmon t o make redds. We will be adding a skim coat\, or layer of smaller gravel that the salmon prefer\, to create that perfect environment (salmon pre fer to make their redds in rocks that range from golf ball to softball s ize). \;\n\n\n\nThe second part of the restoration includes creating a new riffle and making certain the rocks there are also just the right size for redds. Salmon are particular about the rocks where they build redds because these rocks are what help to protect the eggs and prevent them from being washed downstream. \;\n\n\n\nThe final part of the r estoration \;project \;involves \;transforming the steep wal ls adjacent to the area \;into lower angle slopes and planting \ ;vegetation that will \;slow \;erosion. \;Because these slop es are where we will be getting our spawning gravel\, we want to leave t hem in a better condition than they are now.\n\n\n\nProject timeline:\n\ n\n\nPermitting and planning \;for Rose Bar \;will be complete b y Spring \;of 2022. \;SYRCL \;will \;then \;work wit h project partners and landowners \;to develop \;a \;strateg y for construction.\n\n\n\nWhat's next after Rose Bar?\n\n\n\nRose Bar&n bsp\;is part of a larger project pipeline. \;Rose Bar \;planning  \;will wrap up just as construction begins at Lower Long Bar. \ ;At the same time\, permitting and designing \;will be in process fo r \;Upper \;Long \;Bar \;(you can learn more about these projects here). \; \;\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSYRCL is \;alw ays looking for \;new \;opportunities for future \;restorati on \;projects. One \;of the areas we \;hope to be able to wo rk on \;is just downstream of \;Rose \;Bar. \;As \;o ur Watershed Science Director\, Aaron Zettler-Mann\, \;put it\, “r estoring a section just downstream of Rose Bar \;would allow us to&n bsp\;have \;the \;fish \;nursery and playpen right next to e ach other.” \;\n\n\n\nJoin us to learn more on December 3 (weather permitting) by signing up here.

The overuse of chemical fertilizers\, pestici des and herbicides pollutes the water and poisons wildlife. Illegal wate r diversions result in dry creeks. Deforested and poorly graded land dam ages habitat for native fish and wildlife. So-called “trespass grows on public lands wreak havoc on the landscape.\n\n\n\n“We are committ ed to providing information and educational resources about the cumulati ve impact of cannabis cultivation across our watershed.

The Sta te of the Yuba is an open invitation to learn about the many ways to get involved and volunteer with SYRCL this coming year.”\n\n\n\nThe eveni ng will begin with an open house format\, from 5pm-6pm\, in which attend ees will have an opportunity to meet staff and mingle with river lovers. \n\n\n\nUnveiling New Plan to Help Salmon\n\n\n\nWith Spring-run Chinook salmon hovering on the brink of extinction and fall-run salmon fairing no better\, the time to act is now. Last year\, critically low numbers o f migrating salmon were recorded. As few as 148 Spring-run salmon were c ounted as of August 2016. SYRCL is working on an action plan to restore critical habitat on the lower Yuba this year which will be revealed at t he State of the Yuba. River Science Director Rachel Hutchinson says\, SYRCL is excited to be working collaboratively with agencies and local non-profits to produce a plan that will allow us to take action and impr ove conditions for fish now. We are working with the California Departme nt of Fish and Wildlife and groups like the Gold Country Flyfishers to h elp save these key species and their habitat.” SYRCL and partners are focused on salmon and steelhead restoration because they are indicators of river health\, from the headwaters to the ocean. When a watershed is able to support strong salmon and steelhead populations\, the entire riv er ecosystem can thrive.\n\n\n\nCentennial Dam\n\n\n\nOver the past two years SYRCL\, in coalition with local\, state\, and national conservatio n groups\, has been challenging Nevada Irrigation District (NID)’s pro posal to build Centennial Dam. The Bear River just recently made nationa l news as it was listed number two in America’s Most Endangered Rivers ® a report published by American Rivers. \; The report highlights r ivers whose fate will be decided in the coming year. \; The Bear was chosen because the Centennial Dam would “irreparably harm the river s fish and wildlife\, recreation and Native American heritage.” State of the Yuba attendees can expect to learn more about why the Bear River made it to the top of the nation’s most endangered rivers list and ho w to get involved.\n\n\n\nCaleb Dardick\, SYRCL Executive Director says\ , “In 2017\, a new dam should be the last alternative considered\, not the first. NID should be looking for alternative ways to manage limited water resources that are environmentally sustainable such as restoring meadows\, wetlands\, and floodplains. We want our local representatives to consider a range of creative solutions such as repairing or modifying aging facilities\, improving canal efficiency\, incentivizing water con servation\, stopping leaks\, and metering water.”\n\n\n\nIn this polit ical climate\, engaging in local environmental\, community\, and politic al issues is paramount. \; This FREE event is for all members of the community who want to learn more about SYRCL’s efforts to defend the watershed and how to get involved.

This would inundate the last six miles of publicl y accessible\, free-flowing river on the Bear\, completely flooding the Bear Campground\, more than 25 homes and 120 parcels\, 140 Native Americ an cultural sites\, and Dog Bar Bridge\, the only crossing of the Bear R iver between Highway 49 and Highway 174.\n\n\n\nThe Nevada Irrigation Di strict has applied for a federal permit to construct the dam. The \; environmental review process \;is now underway\, and the Army Corps of Engineers is soliciting comment from the public under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act. The Corps is particularly interested in receiving c omments related to alternatives to the proposed project and the proposal 's probable impacts on the affected aquatic environment.  \;Letters and emails are due to the Corps April 10.

Invasive species threaten native species by outcompeting them for valuable resources. Invasive plants li ke Scotch broom\, Spanish broom\, and French broom are extremely flammab le\, and fire germinates their seed. After a burn they can quickly push out natives and homogenize the forest ecosystem in which they have taken root. In other cases\, invasive plants are well adapted to dominating s ome of the foothills’ unique ecosystems.\n\n\n\nThis year's Scotch Bro om Challenge is on May 5th. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSign up now for the Scotch B room Challenge!\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVolunteer Information\n\n\n\nVoluntee rs should meet at the Rood Government Center in Nevada City at 9:00 am. From there we will drive to Mountain Bounty Farm in Birchville up Hwy 49 . Mountain Bounty Farm is a Bear Yuba Land Trust (BYLT) property. It ha s limited parking so carpooling in encouraged\, by meeting at the Rood C enter we can consolidate into fewer cars and leave extra cars in the fre e parking lot. \n\n\n\nWe will be providing weed wrenches to pull the sc otch broom.\n\n\n\nVolunteers should bring a lunch\, plenty of water\, a nd work clothes. \n\n\n\nScotch Broom is a ladder fuel and an invasive w eed in our forests. By removing the broom\, we can help mitigate fire da nger and benefit native plants in our ecosystem. BYLT has hosted multipl e pulls on this property so there is a chance to see how well the ecosys tem bounces back after broom removal.\n\n\n\nPlease reach out to Summer Driscoll at restoration @yubariver.org with any questions or clarificat ions.

This is a fantastic opportunity to have aspen experts visit the North Yuba landsc ape and provide updates on aspen research\, restoration techniques\, and showcase the North Yuba Project through a restoration lens. Aspen stand s on the western slope of the Sierra Nevada are unique in comparison to aspen locations in the intermountain west\, or even on the eastern slope of the Sierra Nevada\, and therefore having a specialized workshop is n eeded to understand the particular management techniques for restoration in this location. Aspen can act as fuel breaks through their water sequ estration and provide habitat for flora and fauna present in the watersh ed. The South Yuba River Citizen’s League is working directly with the Forest Service on planning this workshop and will be contracting expert s from the Western Aspen Alliance to provide their expertise on aspen ec ology. The event will be held at the San Francisco State University Sier ra Nevada Field campus in the North Yuba. The workshop will include both classroom learning of recent research on aspen ecology\, and will have a field tour component\, on which the preliminary aspen restoration site s from the North Yuba Project will be showcased.\n\n\n\nSave the Date fo r the Workshop: https://yubariver.salsalabs.org/2023SAVETHEDATECentralSi erraWesternSlopeAspenWorkshop/index.html\, please fill out the form if y ou are interested in the event.

We' re nearing the final stages of this year's construction on our restorati on project at Rose Bar (to learn more about the project\, \;click he re)\, and we're looking for able-bodied\, enthusiastic volunteers who ca n help us transform steep slopes with the planting of almost 500 trees. If you're up for the challenge\, we want you on our team!\n\n\n\nWhy You r Help Is Vital:\n\n\n\nThis project is all about improving nearby spawn ing habitat for salmon and steelhead trout and stabilizing the eroding b anks of historic mining tailings. Your help planting these slopes will i ncrease their stability protecting Yuba River water quality. Plus\, grow ing trees sequester carbon.\n\n\n\nVolunteer Requirements:\n\n\n\nPhysic al Requirement: \;You should be capable of lifting up to 30 pounds\, expect to tackle challenging heights and cover significant distances (l ikely about 3 miles\, cumulatively)\, and be prepared to navigate uneven terrain on rocky surfaces. \;\n\n\n\nVehicle Requirement: \;The parking lot can accommodate \;about 15 vehicles - and high clearanc e vehicles are suggested. If you're unable to arrange transportation to the site\, SYRCL may be able to coordinate a carpool. \n\n\n\nNOTE: This will not be easy work\, and volunteers should be prepared to hike and s tand on a rather steep slope\, as well as be able to lift 30 pounds or s o and be comfortable digging holes.\n\n\n\nWhat You Can Expect:\n\n\n\n\ nA day spent outdoors\, working alongside like-minded individuals.\n\n\n \nA sense of pride for contributing to the environment.\n\n\n\nExpert gu idance on tree planting.\n\n\n\n\nJoin us in leaving a lasting legacy of resilience. Your participation in this event will make a real differenc e in the Upper Rose Bar project - in support of salmon spawning habitat.  \;\n\n\n\n\nSIGN UP HERE\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nplanting area sho wn in red above\n\n\n\nA light breakfast will be provided.\n\n\n\nPlease pack your own lunch.\n\n\n\nIf you have a shovel that you are particula rly comfortable using\, please bring that as well\, otherwise we will ha ve equipment available.\n\n\n\n\nSIGN UP HERE\n\n\n\n\nFor more informat ion\, please feel free to contact Danielle Conway\, SYRCL's Fisheries Re storation Program Manager\, at danielle@yubariver.org URL;VALUE=URI:https://yubariver.org/events/rose-bar-planting-event/ UID:urn:uuid:b8802186-7029-4c27-bccd-f0febf0b409b STATUS:CONFIRMED ORGANIZER: DTSTAMP:20260605T163027Z DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20231110T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20231110T150000 LOCATION:Rose Bar\nGPS Coordinates: 39.205582\, -121.294261 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:TCSI 3-part webinar series DESCRIPTION:Join the Tahoe-Central Sierra Initiative (TCSI) for a three- part webinar series in November to learn about science-based tools\, pro ducts\, and research that can be used to guide restoration and forest ma nagement practices in the Tahoe-Central Sierra region and across Califor nia.
