Last week, in partnership with the Yosemite Gateway Prescribed Burn Cooperative, we hosted a Women's Chainsaw class at our Stookey Preserve. This is a wonderful opportunity for women to learn safe and efficient chainsaw practices from incredible female instructors (pictured). Yet, another cool example of how partnerships are benefiting local protected lands and communities. Photo: Anissa Morgenstern, class participant and awesome SFC docent!

DO NOT MISS THIS! Birding on Clark's Valley this Saturday! Join docents Karyn O'Hearn and Nan Oswald as they bring their wealth of birding experience to this amazing property. Clark’s Valley Conservation Easement is a testament to the effectiveness of appropriate forest management and fuels reduction, in light of the current forest conditions and the Oak Fire (2022), that maintain the appropriate habitat necessary to encourage numerous species of birds to call home. This is an easy exploratory hike with some off trail meandering – you won’t want to miss this opportunity! As a bonus, the incredible landowners will be PROVIDING LUNCH!!!!
