Yuba Water Agency recognizes the critical importance of the upper Yuba River watershed in fulfilling its core mission areas but acknowledges the increasing threats posed by ecosystem degradation and forest health issues. Historically, fire suppression and timber harvesting practices have left the forests overstocked with small trees and brush, creating conditions ripe for high-severity wildfires, exacerbated by the impacts of climate change. These changes not only endanger communities and infrastructure within the watershed but also compromise the overall health and resilience of the ecosystem.
In response, Yuba Water has launched a groundbreaking Watershed Resilience Program aimed at mitigating the risk of catastrophic wildfires and safeguarding residents, communities, and water supply. Through strategic partnerships and innovative funding mechanisms, the agency is spearheading collaborative efforts to develop and implement comprehensive forest restoration strategies across the watershed. By engaging in large-scale planning, analysis, and implementation projects, Yuba Water and its partners are working tirelessly to restore the balance of the ecosystem, ensuring the long-term sustainability of both human communities and natural habitats in the region.
