The Concow Resilience Project is an innovative post-fire restoration project born out of collaboration between BCRCD, the Feather River Ranger District of the Plumas National Forest, the Konkow Valley Band of Maidu Indians, the Pacific Southwest Research Station (PSWRS), and American Forests. It is funded by the Sierra Nevada Conservancy, PSWRS, American Forests, and California Climate Investments "Shared Stewardship" funding. The Project is a ~800-acre pilot forest health project on Forest Service lands in the Concow Basin "checkerboard". The project focuses on post-fire restoration through oak release and pruning, pile burning, research, and climate-adaptive reforestation.
