Middle Yuba & South Yuba Forest Service Projects

The Middle Yuba River watershed (~134,500 acres) sits between two active forest-health planning efforts: the North Yuba Forest Partnership to the north and Nevada County’s community wildfire planning to the south. This map shows where existing and planned treatments end — and where the planning gap remains.

Layers include the North Yuba Forest Partnership ROD 2 final treatment units and ROD 3 footprint, Tahoe National Forest South Yuba fuels projects (Bear Trap, Cruzonville, Gastonville, Highway 20, Washington, WNCCDP/Deer Creek, and the South Yuba Roadside Fuelbreaks), land ownership from CAL FIRE FRAP, and the Middle Yuba River watershed boundary (USGS Watershed Boundary Dataset, HUC10 1802012505).
