Stanislaus National Forest fire crews work on prescribed burn
Tuolumne County, CA Several Tuolumne County communities, like Cedar Ridge, will benefit from federal dollars fueling prescribed burns.
A partnership between Tuolumne County, the U.S. Forest Service and Yosemite Stanislaus Solutions Collaborative (YSS) will ramp up efforts to increase the pace and scale of landscape restoration on the Stanislaus National Forest (STF) with those funds. In September, the county received $ 8.67 million from the U.S. Forest Service to add to the $11.2 million it already received from other grants and direct funding to support fuels reduction and other restoration work on the forest.
