Healthy Forests Initiative

Building and restoring forests focused on resilience is a sustainable path toward fire reduction ensuring the health of the Tuolumne River and greater Yosemite watersheds.

In collaboration with the YSS Collaborative we are accelerating the pace and scale of restoration work while increasing funding that supports restoration across landscapes and watershed boundaries.

There is great urgency to restore forest health, as demonstrated by the many large- scale fires throughout California. Through our collaboration with the highly- recognized YSS Collaborative, we are addressing and reducing the hurdles that slow project implementation.

Connecting key funders and shepherding project proposals, TRT is the on-the ground project manager. Working in partnership with the Stanislaus National Forest we have developed a framework that accelerates the planning process for large landscape areas and shortens the timeline for completing environmentally compliant projects. Over the last several years, thousands of acres of Stanislaus National Forest land has been treated, with thousands of acres of additional fuel reduction, forest and meadow health, and restoration work
