10/4/2023

By Adrian Hardy........
The bale raising project hosted by the Feather River Land Trust was on Saturday, September 31st. Bales of straw are being used to insulate the new nature center.  Approximately 40 volunteers were working diligently on a rainy day to prepare the building for the harsh winter weather.
“The Feather River Land Trust partnered with The Nature Conservatory, and the Northern Sierra partnership to conserve several properties, which together formed a 2,586 acres and contiguous preserve in the northern heart of Sierra Valley.”  This watershed is one of the most biodiverse landscapes in the United States. “Biodiversity is a simple measure of the numbers of different plants and animals that occur within a given geographic region.”
The Sierra Valley Preserve offers year-round public access in the Sierra Valley for many activities, such as hiking, botanizing nature, photography, birding, seasonal, boating, and many  naturalist – lead events. This preserve offers a wildlife viewing platform, many  beautiful trails, picnic areas, and the beautiful scenery of the Sierra valley.  Pictured here is Jena Holland, Public Programs Manager.  As Public Programs Manager she has created a plan for community engagement programs such as birdwatching, botany events, and other educational activities for school-age children.  The Sierra Valley’s first known inhabitants were the Washoe and  Maidu Indian tribes. Sierra Valley is still sacred land to the Maidu and Washoe tribes and they continue to visit and enjoy the beauty and the wildlife resources of the valley today.
