Protect the Yuba River Canyon from Wildfires
This year’s lack of precipitation has already led to multiple red flag warnings in our area as well as the surrounding areas.

Both of these factors could result in a small fire growing to become a significant and devastating incident.
Update: NYFP to Receive Funding for Forest Restoration
The North Yuba Forest Partnership is set to receive $34.8 million in federal funding to support the implementation of forest restoration treatments in the North Yuba River watershed. The treatments this funding will support, such as ecologically based thinning and prescribed fire, are designed to promote forest conditions that are more resilient, while reducing the risk of catastrophic wildfire and restoring watershed health and native biodiversity.
