Rotarian Tom Milam works on restoring the irrigation system at The Woolman Center’s organic farm in Nevada City. Last summer’s Jones Fire destroyed 19 structures at the Center, including farm buildings, fencing and irrigation.
In August 2020, the Jones Fire raged through the South Yuba River Canyon up Jones Ridge near Nevada City, devastating lands and buildings in its path. The Woolman at Sierra Friends Center campus was hit hard. The fire destroyed 19 structures including the farm buildings, fence and irrigation. Now the Center is looking to rebuild and replant under the direction of Malaika Bishop, a local farmer and stewardship associate with Sierra Harvest.
