May 3, 2024 – Please save the DATE!! Have your voice heard! Community Wildfire Protection Plan meetings are scheduled for June in the Yuba County Foothills. If you’re concerned about reducing local wildfire hazard, improving emergency access and increasing firefighting capacity, please attend!

CWPP Yuba Foothills

The Yuba Watershed Protection & Fire Safe Council (YWPFSC) was awarded a US Forest Service grant to update the Yuba Foothills Community Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP).

The CWPP is a critical document for fire protection and for YWPFSC and local partners to leverage resources to fund local forest health, resilience and fire safety efforts. The scheduled community meetings are a great opportunity for local residents and property owners to have input into the CWPP. 

Deer Creek Resources has been hired to conduct wildfire hazard analyses and collect stakeholder input and other relevant data to update the CWPP.

Community meetings will be held in each of the five Yuba County Foothill fire districts to share information and gather community input.

The original CWPP prepared in 2014 can be viewed at: https://yubacounty.opennrm.org/cwpp/cwpp-report

If you have any questions, please email info@yubafiresafe.org or call Sandie at YWPFSC (530) 723-3799.
