The South Yuba River Citizens League and the Tahoe National Forest are hosting the Central Sierra Western Slope Aspen Workshop on September 7th and 8th in the North Yuba footprint. The event will be held at San Francisco State University’s Sierra Nevada Campus located near Bassets. The objective of this workshop is to learn and share knowledge, highlighting novel aspen research and examples of aspen restoration techniques. Aspen experts will join the workshop to present on the unique ecology of aspen stands on the western slope of the Sierra Nevada. Part of the workshop will include classroom style learning to be held at the Field Campus. The other portion will include field tours of aspen restoration sites. The Central Sierra Western Slope Aspen Workshop aligns with Yuba Water’s core mission areas of habitat restoration and recreation in the Yuba River Watershed by providing an educational opportunity to learn about the restoration of aspen habitats which are valued for the ecosystem and aesthetic recreational values they provide.
Aspen stands in the North Yuba headwaters are ecologically unique and vital to the health of the watershed. Quaking aspen (Populus tremuloides) forests support the widest range of plant and animal species of any forest type in the western United States, providing critical moist habitat and acting as a refuge for flora and fauna in Sierra Nevada headwater ecosystems. In addition to habitat, aspen stands provide ecosystem services that affect surrounding ecological communities both directly and indirectly including landscape-scale fire resilience, and improved water quality. SYRCL is working directly with the USFS and Western Aspen Alliance to showcase how aspen restoration can be integrated into forest and fuels work in the North Yuba. The Central Sierra Western Slope Aspen Workshop will provide a unique educational event for western US experts and practitioners focusing on existing and future aspen work and how it fits into the larger forest landscape.
