Sierra Nevada Conservancy
@sierranevada.ca.gov
We are the Sierra Nevada Conservancy (SNC), a state agency tasked to improve the environmental, economic, and social well-being of California’s Sierra-Cascade region since 2004.
Recreation and resilience go hand in hand; in June the SNC Board approved more than three million dollars in recreation funding to improve #trails, outdoor access, and stewardship opportunities across the Sierra-Cascade Region. Learn more: sierranevada.ca.gov/the-snc-awar...
Healthy forests are one of California's most effective nature-based solutions. #Biomass utilization helps make forest restoration projects more viable while supporting watershed resilience and community protection. Learn more: sierranevada.ca.gov/opening-of-n...
Wildfire impacts occur across entire landscapes. Our response should too. The SNC Board approved new Landscape Grant Program guidelines designed to invest in shovel-ready portfolios of restoration and resilience projects across the Sierra-Cascade Region. sierranevada.ca.gov/the-snc-awar...
A tiny mussel is creating big problems for California's waters. An SNC grant is helping fund three mobile Clean, Drain, Dry, Dispose stations in Mono County to help stop invasive #GoldenMussels before they reach these Sierra-Cascade waters. Learn more: sierranevada.ca.gov/state-region...
The California Tahoe Conservancy (@CaliforniaTahoe) has announced up to $300,000 in funding through its Tahoe for All Grant Program. Pre-applications are due by July 31, 2026. Learn more: tahoe.ca.gov/tahoe-for-al...
Join the CA Wildfire & Forest Resilience Task Force's Sierra Nevada Regional Webinar on July 9 at 2:00 p.m. to learn about the Draft Wildfire and Landscape Resilience Action Plan, hear from regional partners, and ask questions. Learn more: actionplan2026.wildfiretaskforce.org/webinar/?utm...
Protecting Sierra-Cascade waters starts with prevention. An SNC grant recently funded three mobile Clean, Drain, Dry, Dispose (CD3) stations in Mono County to help stop the spread of invasive golden mussels. #CleanDrainDry #GoldenMussel Learn more: sierranevada.ca.gov/state-region...
Biomass can be part of the solution. Instead of piling & burning woody material from restoration projects, new facilities in Tuolumne County are creating products, supporting jobs, & helping reduce wildfire risk. #WildfireResilience #Biomass #RestorationEconomy sierranevada.ca.gov/opening-of-n...
A tiny mussel is creating big concern for California’s waters. State and regional partners are working together to keep invasive golden mussels out of the Sierra-Cascade, where they threaten waterways, infrastructure, recreation, and ecosystems. Learn more: sierranevada.ca.gov/state-region...
Building wildfire resilience starts before wildfire starts. The SNC Board approved $720k for forest health work in Grass Valley, helping reduce hazardous fuels across 240 acres near communities & infrastructure. Learn more: sierranevada.ca.gov/the-snc-awar... #WildfireResilience #Community
More ways to explore the outdoors are on the way! The SNC Board approved a $500k grant to help connect Hidden Falls Regional Park & Big Hill Preserve with 3 miles of new multi-use trail & three bridges. #OutdoorAccess #Trails #SierraCascade Learn more: sierranevada.ca.gov/the-snc-awar...
Wildfire impacts occur across entire landscapes. Our response should too. The SNC Board recently approved the new Landscape Grant Program, designed to help fund large-scale, shovel-ready restoration and resilience projects across the Sierra-Cascade. #LandscapeScaleRestoration
An SNC grant will support #FuelReduction work to help improve wildfire resilience. The grant will reduce fuels on 192 acres in the southwest region of #MariposaCounty near the communities of Ahwahnee, Nipinnawasee, and Ponderosa Basin. Learn more: sierranevada.ca.gov/the-snc-awar...
On June 4, SNC Boardmembers and staff toured project sites across Trinity County to see firsthand how partnerships, early investments, and innovative approaches are advancing healthy forests, resilient watersheds, and community protection. #HealthyForests #WatershedResilience #SierraCascade
The SNC Board approved nearly $1.5 million for new #Wildfire resilience projects in Nevada and #Mariposa counties to help reduce wildfire risk and protect communities. Learn more: sierranevada.ca.gov/the-snc-awar... #WildfireResilience
The SNC’s 20 Years of Impact report highlighted our two decades of work supporting wildfire resilience, land conservation, watershed health, and outdoor access across the Sierra-Cascade. Go check out the full 20 Years of Impact Report: sierranevada.ca.gov/what-we-do/2...
Increasing the pace & scale of #ForestRestoration & community protection efforts is more important than ever. The SNC Board approved our Landscape Grant Program guidelines, which will fund landscape & forest collaboratives with shovel-ready projects. sierranevada.ca.gov/the-snc-awar...
Forest restoration work around Mammoth Lakes helped reduce hazardous fuels and improve wildfire resilience across nearly 56k acres of the Inyo National Forest. The project aimed to help protect the town, surrounding forests, and the recreation economy of the eastern Sierra.
Tiny species can create big problems. Golden mussels were recently detected in #California & can damage water infrastructure, disrupt #ecosystems, & spread quickly between waterways. Clean, drain, and dry boats and gear to help protect Sierra-Cascade waters. wildlife.ca.gov/Conservation...

Restoration at Sly Park Meadow improved water quality, meadow health, & recreation access for visitors. Funding by SNC, CA Department of Fish & Wildlife (@californiadfw), & the EID paved the way for this critical drainage to be restored after years of overuse. sierranevada.ca.gov/sly-park-mea...
Invasive species can outcompete native plants, damage habitats, & increase stress on forests & watersheds across #California. During #InvasiveSpecies Action Week,learn how simple actions like cleaning gear & planting native species can help protect the Sierra-Cascade. wildlife.ca.gov/Conservation...
