🎉 Today is #EarthDay and while we celebrate our home planet each and every day, we’re always up for celebrating the majesty of Earth! 🌎

💪Started in 1970 and channeling the energy of student anti-war protests, #EarthDay sparked a global movement for environmental protection. Today, it serves as an important reminder of our collective responsibility to preserve and protect our planet for current and future generations!

🌍 How are you caring for and celebrating our home planet?

Happy #InternationalDayOfForests! Designated in 20

Happy #InternationalDayOfForests! Designated in 2012 by the UN General Assembly, the #InternationalDayOfForests elevates the importance of and celebrates every forest!

We’re so lucky in the Upper Feather River watershed to be surrounded by National Forests that serve to foster biodiversity, act as carbon sinks and provide opportunities for enjoyment and appreciation of nature. Tell us what you love about our local forests!

Spring is officially here! The vernal equinox mark

Spring is officially here! The vernal equinox marks the start of spring for the Northern Hemisphere, where the Earth’s axis and orbit align giving both hemispheres an equal amount of sunlight. As the days grow longer signs of new life are emerging and we look forward to the unfolding of the seasonal cycle. What are you looking forward to this spring season?

Happy International Women's Day! Join us in honori

Happy International Women's Day! Join us in honoring one of our very own #WomenInConservation Elizabeth Ramsey!

Liz has been a part of Friends of Plumas Wilderness since 2018 serving first as a volunteer, then as a GIS contractor, before joining our staff as Conservation & Planning Director in late 2022. Liz is our lead on advocacy and planning efforts at FoPW and she works diligently to bring partners, evidence-based science, and an ecological ethic together to care for the lands and waters of the Upper Feather River watershed.

A woman of myriad strengths and talents, Liz also serves as the Executive Director of Plumas Audubon Society and is an accomplished wildlife photographer! Learn a little bit more about Liz and why she finds the Upper Feather River Watershed so special.

We are honored to work with a group of incredible women like Liz who serve on our staff, our board of directors, and who help to advise our committees. Their perspectives, insight, and dedication are invaluable to the work we do.

We want to recognize women across the conservation field like our partners, collaborators, natural resources managers, and conservation scientists who work tirelessly to care for and advocate for the diverse communities and ecosystems. And to women all over the world who are doing great things for their communities and our planet.
