- A group opportunity. Invite your friends.
The Center for Sierra Nevada Conservation is looking for volunteers to help restore sensitive watershed and habitat in El Dorado National Forest. We will be headed to the Grizzly Flats area and working off of Capps Crossing Road. We are looking for volunteers for work along a narrow off highway vehicle track that runs almost 2000 ft that intersects a site we restored in June and an old logging road. This is a long but narrow and flat site with adequate shade. We will be covering bare ground with duff and debris and placing woody debris to exclude. E-mail Kaitlin@sierranevadaconservation.org for updated detailed information.
We will meet in the Placerville Raley's parking lot 8:50 a.m. Carpool leaves at 9am.
Workdays: Wear long pants, Sturdy closed toe shoes (work or hiking boots/shoes), hat, and bring 2L of water, lunch/snacks, sunscreen, work gloves, backpack, and anything else you might want/need for a day in the forest. Please RSVP to Kaitlin@sierranevadaconservation.org We don't want to leave anyone behind!
CSNC provides work gloves, tools, extra water, and snacks!

Mission Statement
The Center for Sierra Nevada Conservation is a grassroots environmental organization dedicated to the protection of ecosystem values and the long-term sustainability of our natural resources for future generations.
Description
The Center for Sierra Nevada Conservation has been a tireless voice for John Muir’s "Range of Light" for 28 years, working f or sound management of our public lands and enlightened government land use policies. The CSNC Board of Directors and our members have worked countless hours to make sure land managers and politicians do not overlook environmental values when making land use decisions.
Our interests and work include recreation, forestry practices, meadow restoration, removal of invasive plants and land use issues. A key goal is the right-sizing of the National Forest road system. When the Forest Service or County proposes a project that threatens wildlife or wildlife habitat, we speak up for the voiceless. When projects threaten meadows, mountain streams and aquatic habitat, we advocate for protecting water and fish. When our communities are faced with incompatible land use projects, we organize to protect our rural lifestyle.
