The Greater Cement Hill Neighborhood Association extends from Sugarloaf Mountain on its eastern edge, to Highway 49, and then to the ridge line that overlooks the South Yuba River canyon. This land includes the ancestral homeland of the Nevada City Rancheria Nisenan Tribe and several sites of Gold Rush diggings.
The organization was formed in 1990 during the Nevada County General Plan update to be a voice for appropriate land use planning. We serve over 475 property owners or tenants and actively work to maintain our status as a FireWise Community.
We publish seasonal newsletters, reaching out to neighbors and we sponsor educational and social events. We communicate with residents and provide a common forum through regular meetings of our steering committee comprised of 15 neighborhood area or road representatives.

HIT (from reader Ralph Metreyeon): To Mr. Conter for inviting us all to a book signing. It was very special to all who came and were able to meet a true American hero. Mr. Conter was kept distanced from all, and everyone wore a mask to protect him. Also thanks to Paulette for opening up her restaurant and holding this most important event. If you missed this signing, I hope you will make the effort to go to the next one. You won’t be disappointed.

Depending on the season, Erin Tarr spends her free time hiking or snowboarding with her three kids 18, 15 and 7 years old.
The Bear Yuba Land Trust, Tarr’s employer for nearly a decade, has always worked actively to secure the future of outdoor recreation through conservation easements, trail creation and maintenance.
After sharing the position for the last three years as co-executive director, Tarr in early February became the organization’s sole director after Erika Seward stepped away.
“I am excited and honored to be leading the land trust at such a critical time for sustainable recreation and community resilience,” Tarr said. “I look forward to continuing to work with our many partners to reach shared goals: creating a healthy community devoted to nature access and climate change resilience.”
