A huge thank you to all the incredible volunteers

A huge thank you to all the incredible volunteers who came out for our Summer Solstice Stewardship Blitz!

Together, volunteers helped clear downed trees, brush trails, and learn how to use and maintain cross-cut saws. This act of community stewardship helps keep trails like Mill Creek Trail accessible to all and brings us together to care for our shared public lands.

At a time when public lands face constant threats of sell-offs and weakened protections, and our federal agencies deal with crippling staffing cuts, volunteer support is more important than ever in caring for public lands. We’re so grateful for our volunteers’ hard work and for the chance to partner with the Plumas National Forest – Mt. Hough Ranger District to steward the Bucks Lake Wilderness Area.

🌞Volunteer for the Summer Solstice Stewardship

🌞Volunteer for the Summer Solstice Stewardship Blitz!🌞
As our public lands face growing threats and reduced budgets, the need for all of us to pitch in and help out is greater than ever!

On Saturday, June 21st, join us and the Plumas National Forest – Mt. Hough Ranger District for a day of community care in the Bucks Lake Wilderness!

🌲We’ll be brushing trails, clearing downed logs, and learning about wilderness stewardship (including how to use a crosscut saw!) along the Right Hand Branch of Mill Creek Trail. Please bring layers for changing weather (long sleeves & pants for trail work), sturdy shoes, sun protection (sunscreen, sunglasses & a hat), insect repellent as well as lunch, snacks and water for the day. All tools and guidance provided.

🛶 Meet at 9am at the Bucks Lake Lodge (please park across from the lodge in front of the cabins) — boat rides across the lake generously provided by Bucks Lake Marina!
⏰ We’ll work until about 2:30 PM and be back at the lodge by 3.

Volunteers can log hours toward a free National Parks Pass!

**Please RSVP by Wednesday, June 18 to help us plan**

Public lands give us so much– with fewer hands to care for them, yours can make a real difference!

Congress is considering legislation that would ope

Congress is considering legislation that would open the door to a widespread sell-off of our public lands—threatening the wild places we cherish, the wildlife that depend on them, and the clean water that sustains our communities.

These lands belong to all of us—not just to the highest bidder.

We urge @kevinpkiley to stand with the people of the Sierra and protect our public lands from privatization. Tell your Rep. to vote no on selling off public lands to pay for tax cuts ( 🔗 in bio to contact your Rep.!)

Thank you to everyone who joined us for our second

Thank you to everyone who joined us for our second Cultivating Connectivity event of 2025 last Tuesday with Dr. Libby Ehlers!

We’re so appreciative to all who came out to the Quincy Public Library to explore the movement, survival, and recovery of ungulate species across the Upper Feather River Watershed, the challenges these species face—and the collaborative efforts underway to ensure their future in our region.

A big thank you to Dr. Ehlers for sharing her experience, knowledge and passion for ungulate species and to our co-hosts at Plumas Audubon Society for helping make this event possible.

Stay tuned for details about our next Cultivating Connectivity event coming this fall!
