🌲💧 Forest density and watershed health are directly linked.

Overcrowded forests compete for limited water.

Stressed trees become fire fuel.

Degraded soil loses its ability to absorb rainfall and recharge aquifers.

That's why forest thinning and fuel reduction aren't just fire prevention, they're water protection.

Healthy forests hold more water.

Conservation doesn't happen alone. YS RC&D is proud to work alongside local landowners, agencies, tribes, and community organizations who share our commitment to protecting the Sierra Nevada landscape. Our strength is in our partnerships. Together, we cover more ground, reach more people, and restore more land.

World Oceans Day is a reminder that ocean health doesn’t start at the shoreline.

It starts in the Sierra Nevada, where snowpack melts into rivers, flows through farmland, and eventually reaches the Pacific. The forests and watersheds we protect in the Central Valley foothills are part of a connected system that stretches all the way to the coast.

Swipe to see how our work connects to the world’s oceans, and how you can be part of protecting it.

Happy National Trails Day!

The trails that wind through our Sierra Nevada forests aren't just recreational — they're access points for fire crews, paths for wildlife, and corridors for conservation. Get out there this weekend and walk one.

Notice the forest around you. A healthy trail means a healthy forest.

Tag us in your trail photos today — we want to see your Sierra Nevada.

Today is World Environment Day — and for us, protecting the environment starts with protecting it from fire.

Healthy forests don't just store carbon and filter water. They depend on communities that take fire prevention seriously.

This World Environment Day, we're asking you to do one thing: walk your property. Clear your defensible space. Remove dead fuel before summer heat arrives.

Protect the land. Protect your home. Protect your community.

A healthy meadow isn't just pretty — it's a natural sponge.

Mountain meadows slow runoff, filter sediment, recharge groundwater, and regulate stream flow. When meadows are degraded, we lose all of that — and downstream communities feel it. Restoring and protecting these critical ecosystems is at the heart of what we do at YS RC&DC.

Every dollar we invest in watershed health today saves thousands in flood damage, water treatment costs, and fire recovery tomorrow. YS RC&DC works on the ground — planting, restoring, educating — so our communities have clean water and safer land for generations to come.

World Reef Day is a reminder that healthy water systems are interconnected — from the Sierra Nevada headwaters to the rivers that flow to the sea.

What happens upstream matters downstream. When we protect our mountain watersheds, we protect the entire chain of life that depends on clean, flowing water.

Every watershed matters. Every forest counts.
