We are so lucky to live in a state with such abundant biodiversity and natural beauty and we feel grateful to be participants in protecting it. Today (September 7th) is California Biodiversity Day!
Looking for a way to celebrate? We encourage folks to get outside and contribute to our collective knowledge about California’s biodiversity through the nature-mapping platform, @iNaturalist. Record your observations and contribute to the citizen science efforts critical in documenting and safeguarding California’s diversity! Nature-mapping contributes to California’s #30x30 initiative, which aims to conserve 30% of California lands and coastal waters by 2030 through collaborative action.
Tag your photos using #cabiodiversity to share your biodiversity day adventures!

Happy #WildflowerWednesday! This week we’re excited about all the late season, high elevation wildflowers still in bloom. These images were provided by Plumas Eureka State Park interpreter, Darcy Page, who’ll be guiding participants on a tour and hike around the Jamison Mine complex and Grass Lake in beloved, Plumas Eureka State Park this SATURDAY, August 26th where we might be lucky enough to still see some of these wildflowers in bloom. They feature (1)Lilium humboldtii (Humboldt Lily) (2)Achillea millefolium (Common Yarrow) (3)Calochortus leichtlinii (Mairposa Lily), all found in Plumas Eureka State Park and in many places around the Feather River Watershed.

Participants interested in joining this #FieldTripwithFriends on 8/26 are asked to meet at the Jamison Mine day use area at 10am where we’ll learn the cultural history of the mine and visit the relics of past operations before heading further up the trail to Grass Lake to explore forest ecology in this dynamic section of the Sierra Nevada.

This event is free to the public and we’d love to see you there. So we can get an accurate count, please register at the link in bio. Please reach out with any questions to events@plumaswilderness.org or by telephone at 530.213.3737
