Sierra Institute for Community and Environment

The Sierra Institute’s Center of Forestry is offering twelve unique tour programs in 2009, designed to introduce local residents and visitors to the challenges and opportunities of natural resource management in the northern Sierra Nevada. The tours cover a broad array of natural resource and rural issues, including forest and watershed management, critical bird habitat, fire ecology, and local culture and history. The educational tours offer an opportunity to get off the beaten path and explore a mix of people, places, and projects in the northern Sierra.
