This year, we marked 50 years of Friends of Plumas

This year, we marked 50 years of Friends of Plumas Wilderness. As we celebrate this ring of growth and reflect on our legacy, we draw inspiration from the resilience of the forest that surrounds us. Just like the tenacious roots that anchor the old-growth fir stands, we too were formed– and are sustained– by a network of support from our community. We believe that by standing together, we can weather the storms, challenges and adversity that lies ahead in defending our public lands.

🌲 This #GivingTuesday, we invite you to stand tall with us!

❤️‍🩹 Help us reach our goal of raising $50,000 by the end of the year to support our efforts to advocate for and safeguard the public lands and waters of the Upper Feather River Watershed for generations to come.

We’re 59% of the way there—will you help us reach the upper canopy? ✨

Wow! A huge thank you to the incredible volunteers

Wow! A huge thank you to the incredible volunteers who helped us clean up 460 lbs of coal from the Middle Fork Feather River earlier this month! Your effort helped remove nearly a quarter ton of coal in about four hours, making a difference in restoring this stretch of the Wild & Scenic Middle Fork Feather River near Sloat!

A very special shoutout to @lostsierraflyguide for being the inspiration for and helping to lead the effort, to @californiadfw who pitched in to lend a hand and help haul out what we recovered and to everyone who hiked out to make a dent in tackling the leftover coal from February’s train derailment!

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.
