Thank you to all the volunteers who came out to celebrate the 40th Anniversary of Bucks Lake Wilderness (to the day! 🎂) in addition to #NationalPublicLandsDay!

Our public lands give so much to us and what better way to celebrate the day than by giving a little back! Volunteers cleared chaparral from a stretch of trail in the BLW and helped reset a sign marking the way to Rock Lake. It was a beautiful day to gather and help steward the BLW.

Thanks to our partners at the Plumas National
Forest- Mt. Hough Ranger District, especially Lucas, and all of our dedicated public lands lovers!

🌍 THANK YOU! 🙏

A huge shoutout to all the amazing volunteers who joined us for this year’s Great Sierra River Cleanup! 💪 Because of your hard work and dedication, we were able to make a tangible impact on the Upper Feather River Watershed. Together, we:

🌲 Removed over 127 pounds of trash
🌲 Collected 20 pounds of recyclables
🌲 Stewarded ~3 miles of riverbank

Totaled with the statewide numbers and still counting, 28,751 people turned out and removed over 242,312 pounds of trash for California Coastal Cleanup Day!!

We couldn’t have done this without the support of our volunteers and our partners, @plumascorp, PNF Mt. Hough Ranger District & @sierranevadaalliance💚

Don’t forget! Our next river cleanup is scheduled for Sunday, October 6th with @LostSierraFlyGuide where we’ll be working to remove coal from the February 2024 train derailment. 🔗 to sign-up in bio.
