Rock outcropping is an understatement. This land is truly remarkable and it's only going to get more interesting under our watch. #nature #landmanagement

Shoutout to the California Conservation Corps for deploying their troops to help us reduce excess vegetation on the site. It's looking beautiful out here and we still have more to go. 🌲🏃🏿♂️🦦👌🏿🙏🏿🪵🪵🌾🌻🌧️

We've been working... There is a such thing as too many trees in a forest. Think of it like this. Buildings usually have an occupancy level. When too many people are in a room or building, it is usually uncomfortable and unsafe... Same thing with trees... They begin to compete for resources (water, nutrients, & sunlight), stress each other out, and do not grow as vigorously. So we're thinning the forest ever so slightly to trigger a "release" (like a growth spurt, sort of...) so that our trees will be larger & healthier. #landmanagement

If you from the 80s, you know the freaks come out at night

We are incredibly honored that the California Legislature has seen fit to award us with additional funding in collaboration with Sierra Nevada Conservancy to expand our presence and operations. We look forward to the continued collaborations with California Natural Resources Agency & Sierra Nevada Conservancy .

Home, home on the range Where the deer and the antelope play Where seldom is heard, a discouraging word And the skies are not cloudy all day. (we don't have any antelope, it just rhymes)

We have this vision of creating a paradise in an area that was formerly logged and not managed. Partnerships are essential to this vision... And partnerships begin with exchange and learning... We learned that a big tree is not necessarily an old tree. We can accelerate tree growth through better forest management. Placer County 's Bonnie Gore, Placer Land Trust 's Jeff Darlington , Danielle Lindler 's team at Jefferson Resources Company were showing how to determine the age of a tree.

We've got views for days... You'll see, very soon.

We gathered local stakeholders to discuss our plans for reducing wildfire risk, promoting wildlife diversity, and creating public access. We were joined by Placer Community Foundation , Placer County Supervisor Bonnie Gore, Jeff Darlington from Placer Land Trust , Placer Land Trust 's board members, Placer County 's Sierra Fire Safe Council, California Natural Resources Agency 's Deputy Secretary for Biodiversity, Meghan Hertel , and Deputy Secretary for Forest and Wildfire Resilience, Lisa Lien-Mager .

Every Month is BHM: Victor Hugo Green, a Harlem-based postal worker, authored and published "The Negro Motorist Green Book" in 1936, amidst the backdrop of rampant racial discrimination and segregation in the United States. This travel guide served as a lifeline for African American travelers, offering listings of safe accommodations, restaurants, gas stations, and other businesses that welcomed Black patrons during a time when many establishments refused them service or accommodations solely based on race. Green's meticulous compilation of these establishments across the country provided Black travelers with a sense of security and dignity while navigating through a segregated America. "The Green Book" grew in popularity over the years, expanding its coverage and influence, and ultimately becoming an indispensable tool for Black travelers from the 1930s through the 1960s. Beyond its practical utility, Green's initiative represented a form of resistance against racial discrimination, promoting economic empowerment within the African American community by supporting businesses that embraced inclusivity. Victor Hugo Green's legacy with "The Green Book" continues to resonate today as a testament to the resilience and resourcefulness of African Americans in the face of adversity, highlighting the importance of access, safety, and equal treatment in travel and public accommodation. #thegreenbook #segragation #blacktravels #travelers #travelguide #civilrights #civilrightsmovement #jtmfoundation #everymonthisblackhistorymonth #racisminamerica #educateyourself #antiracism #racialdisparities #blacklivesmatter #youth #youthempowerment
