Sierra Nevada Conservancy Awards $19 Million to Forest Resilience Projects in RCRC Counties

On Thursday, the Sierra Nevada Conservancy (SNC) announced $19 million in funding to 15 wildfire and forest resilience projects in various RCRC member counties. The projects include watershed restoration, community fuel breaks and forest resilience efforts, and will be conducted on both public and private lands in ten different counties under the purview of SNC.

The funding is part of the Early Action Wildfire and Forest Resilience funding that was allocated by the Legislature and Governor Gavin Newsom in April 2021. The projects are shovel-ready, with most set to begin in the summer of 2021.
