The Yuba Project

The Yuba Project is a 14,545 acre project in Sierra County that encompasses National Forest system lands. The Yuba project is a collaborative project between the National Forest Foundation, the Tahoe National Forest, the Yuba Water Agency, and Blue Forest Conservation. The National Forest Foundation has taken lead on implementing projects on approximately 5,690 of these acres. Treatments are proposed to enhance watershed health through improving forest health and resilience to changing climatic conditions, reducing surface and ladder fuels to a level that would allow safe fire suppression, and improving wildlife habitat. Immediate action is needed to achieve the following goals:

  1. Improve the resilience and adaptive capacity of the red fir and mixed-conifer forest ecosystem.
  2. Improve public safety along roads, trails, and distribution lines in the Project area.
  3. Reduce fuel loading in areas of dense, smaller trees and thick undergrowth
  4. Improve the quality of forage for wildlife, including deer, in the project area.
  5. Reintroduce fire into the Project area's fire adapted ecosystems.
  6. Decommission existing roads that are either unauthorized or unneeded.
  7. Restore degraded meadow ecosystems
  8. Enhance recreational and scenic values.
