The Sierra Institute for Community and Environment is a non-profit organization based in Taylorsville, CA, dedicated to promoting healthy and sustainable forests and watersheds. They invest in the well-being of diverse rural communities and strengthen their participation in natural resource decision-making and programs through community-based natural resource management, collaborative groups, and rural community development. Their programs include initiatives such as mass timber housing for rebuilding fire-devastated communities, youth stewardship programs, and the Sierra Forest Entrepreneurs Program, which supports local forest businesses in meeting the urgent needs for forest management. They also work on landscape-scale forest restoration and community improvement projects across California through the West Shore Community Wildfire Protection Project and the Sierra to California All-Lands Enhancement (SCALE) program.Generated from the website
