Announcement: Headwaters Tour explores role of forest management in watershed health
Much of California’s developed water supply originates in the Sierra Nevada, making the state’s water supply largely dependent on the health of forests. But those forests are suffering from widespread tree mortality and other ecosystem degradation resulting largely from the growing frequency of severe droughts and wildfires. On our Headwaters Tour June 22-22, we will visit Eldorado and Tahoe national forests to learn about new forest management practices, including efforts to both prevent wildfires and recover from them.
